Using current state of tech parts, including US sourced batteries with 10 year performance guarantees, I designed a "clean sheet" electric UTV constructed with bio-composite materials that would put the John Deere Gator out of business. The NEV carve out is fascinating. I learned how to scale RC cars up so I look at this differently than Lincoln or Tesla thinking EV is a reason to stuff more and more and more things in it - simplicity is the best use case for EV.


I would love to hear more about this if you have information online anywhere.

I gave up on having an electric mower any time soon since I have a riding mower and a garden tractor that simply won't die. I really don't want to buy something new if I can keep repairing old stuff, no matter how annoying it gets.

However, I am interested in building an electric UTV in large part because it would be quieter than my Honda Foreman.
