Can-Am unveils electric ATV with top towing power

Can-Am introduces the Outlander Electric, BRP's first electric ATV, boasting high torque and strong towing for farming, hunting, and park service.

Can-Am's first electric ATV can haul more than its gas models

BRP’s Can-Am brand has rolled out the Outlander Electric, its first electric all-terrain vehicle. Powered by the Rotax E-Power drivetrain, the ATV makes up to 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque, which helps it tow up to 1,830 pounds—the most of any Can-Am ATV, gas or electric. The 8.9 kWh battery delivers about 50 miles of range and can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in roughly 50 minutes with a Level 2 charger. The vehicle is designed to be whisper quiet, with a liquid cooling system and tuned suspension to reduce noise and improve ride quality.

Key features include selectable ride modes (Normal, Sport, Work), 12 inches of ground clearance and a two-speed transmission, as well as enhanced tires that support off-road work. Pricing starts at $12,999 and the Outlander Electric is available on Can-Am’s website and through dealers. BRP positions the model as a practical option for farmers, hunters and park rangers who value low noise for animal welfare and wildlife management, alongside the ability to perform tasks that require real pulling power.

BRP is expanding its electric lineup at a time when consumer expectations for quiet, efficient work machines are rising. The Outlander Electric combines strong torque with a respectable towing capacity, signaling a shift where electric power can outperform some gas models on utility tasks. Yet buyers will weigh range and charging availability against ongoing use in remote settings. The price point places this ATV in a competitive space with other utility vehicles, but the real differentiator may be how often end users need full capacity for towing on farms or ranches. The move also tests BRP’s broader strategy of leveraging a shared Rotax E-Power platform across snow, road and land vehicles to spread development costs and expand green credibility.
