revrnd Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 https://www.autotrader.ca/newsfeatures/20180305/montreal-company-unveils-worlds-first-electric-snowmobile/?fbclid=IwAR19uByFIOWqEtJrbBldycGl7oH-T89FzLD6Epb4oYmWciSUgnh0ZN7WcXw I guess this wouldn't work too well @ a camp: Quote Charging times are two hours at 240 volts; optionally, a DC fast charger will take the battery to 80 percent capacity in 20 minutes.

Blackstar Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 That was a year ago and they were taking orders to be delivered this winter. No signs of any coming on the snow. My guess, not enough orders to make it worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoso Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It will take a major manu like polaris or doo to bring an electric sled to market. 550 lbs with at least a 250km range, real world range in -25, not bs range. Under 17k and they may find a market. even then I doubt it. this company will fold up like a cheap tent, and anyone that invested will be burned.

Take a look at the strip mining required to get the rare earth minerals out of the ground to make the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
