Can-Am just dropped a 1,830-pound towing capacity bombshell that puts every gas-powered ATV to shame. The 2026 Outlander Electric achieves this through its Rotax E-Power drivetrain, which delivers 53 lb-ft of peak torque instantly—no waiting for RPMs to climb.
While the 47 horsepower might seem modest compared to gas models pushing 101 hp, electric motors laugh at power curves. You get maximum pulling force the moment you twist the throttle, making this the most capable utility ATV ever built.
Silent Running Changes Everything
Near-silent operation opens new possibilities for wildlife observation and noise-sensitive work environments.
Forget the traditional ATV roar echoing through the wilderness. The Outlander Electric runs whisper-quiet, transforming outdoor experiences from noisy intrusions into stealthy explorations.
This silence isn’t just about respecting nature—it’s practical. Land managers working around livestock, photographers stalking wildlife, or anyone operating in residential areas finally have an ATV that won’t announce their presence three valleys away. The XPS Recon Force tires even suppress road noise, completing the stealth package.
Range Reality Meets Fast Charging
Fifty-mile range handles most adventures while Level 2 charging delivers quick turnarounds.
The 8.9 kWh lithium-ion battery provides up to 50 miles under optimal conditions, though Can-Am realistically estimates 31 miles for typical utility work. That’s enough for most day trips or work sessions, especially considering the 6.6 kW onboard charger refills from 20% to 80% in just 50 minutes.
Three selectable drive modes help maximize range, while the 2WD/4WD system lets you conserve power on easier terrain. Just remember—unlike gas ATVs, you can’t pack spare electrons for extended backcountry expeditions.
Premium Price for Pioneering Tech
The $12,999 price tag reflects maintenance savings and industry-first electric drivetrain technology.
Can-Am positioned this as a premium offering at $12,999, but the math gets interesting when you factor in maintenance savings. No oil changes, spark plugs, or clutch adjustments mean your biggest recurring costs become brake fluid and transmission oil.
The five-year battery warranty provides peace of mind, while the 2026 model year availability gives competitors time to scramble for answers. If you’re tired of weekend maintenance sessions cutting into ride time, this electric pioneer might justify its premium—assuming 50 miles covers your adventure radius.
