Скачать или смотреть Polaris Ranger EV Range Test (Steep Terrain) - New Lead Acid Batteries

Polaris Ranger claims 25-50 miles of range on their Polaris Ranger EV. Today, I put it to the test and run it through pretty steep terrain. I have included the whole video but the key section I think worth watching, is the travel up an old mining trail which sees a pretty significant elevation gain over a short period.
(Time for that is 11:50 - 20:50 - with the biggest climb started at 16:50 ish).

For what it's worth I also included an overlay with the State of Charge from the Display Panel.


Here are the results:
2012 Ranger EV
8x US Battery 12V XC 2 - installed in 2019 - approximated @ 50 cycles
Distance: 9.3 miles / 15 km
Total Elevation Gain: 2053 ft / 626 m
