Polaris Inc. unveiled plans this week to debut an all-new 2022 electric Ranger utility side-by-side in late December 2021, which they say is part of their rEV’d up electrification strategy.

This full-size Ranger is the first electric vehicle Polaris has developed through its powersports industry-exclusive partnership with Zero Motorcycles, which the two companies announced last September.

The company expects the new electric Ranger to start arriving in dealerships in early 2022.

“Our rEV’d up strategy positions Polaris to help define yet another chapter in powersports innovation,” said Mike Speetzen, interim CEO, Polaris Inc.  “With the rising interest in electric vehicles, we are investing in electrification in order to meet the needs of current customers as well as appeal to tomorrow’s riders. The all-new electric Ranger is our latest effort aimed at leading the industry forward in this area.”

As part of the Polaris rEV’d up strategy, the all-new full-size electric vehicle spearheads the company’s long-term plan to accelerate what they descibe as their leadership in powersports electrification. Design and development efforts are currently underway in North America.

“The strength of our partnership with Zero Motorcycles and our own investments in electrification R&D enable us to leverage advancements in electric powertrains and performance to drive the off-road industry into the future,” said Mike Donoughe, senior vice president and chief technical officer, Polaris Inc. “This will be one of the most technically advanced off-road vehicles on the market.”
