If you've been wondering when side-by-sides were going to catch up to the automotive industry by adopting all-electric and gas/electric hybrid technology, Texas's HuntVe says wonder no more:

Meet HuntVe: The Texas Hybrid UTV Company - ATVConnection.com

 

The battery powered utvs are fine if you don't want to go very fast. I know Polaris made an electric Ranger but I think it got discontinued because nobody bought it. The problem with most battery powered vehicles is that the power declines as the battery discharges. A hybrid is a better solution but to be perfectly honest, I'd rather spend less money on a more powerful gasoline powered model. Newer utvs are fairly fuel efficient and with the much larger fuel capacity than atvs, you can get 150 miles or more from a single tank in some of them. For hunting I can see the aspect of something like this being quieter but in every other application its simply going to offer disappointing and underwhelming performance while being overpriced.
