The Outlander Electric T weighs the same as the Outlander 700 petrol quad.

Can-Am has entered the space of electric battery power with the launch of its new Outlander Electric T quad. Claiming to be the world’s first mass produced electric quad, the Outlander Electric T is available in standard (short seat) and Max (long seat) variants, like its combustion engine counterparts.
The machine is built on the same chassis as the Outlander 700 petrol models and shares much of the same componentry. Replacing what would traditionally be the Rotax engine, is one 35kw motor on board, also supplied by Rotax. The motor is married with gearbox which provides a direct drive transmission to front and rear wheels in high and low ranges. This motor is coupled with a liquid cooled, 8.9kWh lithium-ion battery system. There is an automatic pre-heat setting to ensure the battery is full up to operating temperature before use. Charge time from 10% to 80% is said to take just 50 minutes using a 6.6kw charger.
Similar to its petrol counterparts, there is selectable two and four wheel drive alongside a lockable rear differential and a Visco lock front diff.

Towing capacity is unchanged at 830kg, while speed tops out at 60km/h which is expected to increase when ABS becomes available. Pricing is said to start at €17,500 which is €3,000-€4,000.
