Jump in the passenger seat with UTV Underground CEO Matt Martelli as he gets to test drive the new Volcon Stag EV UTV just outside Austin, TX at the Rally Ready test track.
"Overall I am impressed with the stag. It handles way better than any other electric UTV I have driven. Their choice of partnering with GM to integrate their drivetrain was smart. The size and weight of the GM drivetrain and batteries is less than a third of the car whereas some of the competitors have a battery array that runs the entire length of the chassis creating more weight and handling issues. The Stag’s acceleration off the line is nothing short of remarkable, in fact, it's addicting. The immediate power actually takes some time to get used to. The vehicle really straddles the line between utility and performance leaning more toward the sport category than the utility category. Considering the average UTV ride is around 20 miles, The Stag fit a perfect emerging category, Utility UTV owners who want a bit more performance out of their vehicles.
We can’t wait to get our hands on one of the production models to properly shakedown for hundreds of miles!
