Volcon opens preorders on electric UTV, the Stag

Volcon Inc. has revealed the electric Volcon Stag UTV, with 125 hp and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. Incorporating the optional paddle shifters with overboost mode, the Stag’s electric power plant will produce an output exceeding 140 hp, the company says.

Selectable driving modes will optimize performance and range according to the driver’s needs. ECO mode will maximize range with smooth power delivery, while Sport mode will provide a more aggressive throttle response for quicker acceleration. In tow mode, the vehicle’s maximum speed will be restricted to build torque progressively for more control while pulling a trailer or other towable accessory. The Stag’s 7.2-kilowatt onboard charger will allow the vehicle to be charged in less than six hours when using Level 2 charging, the company says.

The four-wheel-drive system, activated on-demand, will enhance the Stag’s off-road capability in any terrain by automatically engaging the front wheels whenever the rear wheels lose traction and by managing the power distribution between wheels assuring better stability when cornering. Additionally, Crawl mode will allow the vehicle to move slowly without using the throttle so the driver can manage the speed just by using the brakes.

Stag Specs include:

  • Horsepower: 125 / above 140 hp*
  • Torque: 265 lb.-ft.
  • Range: above 100 miles
  • Charge time: less than six hours**
  • Motor: 107 kilowatts
  • Battery: 42 kilowatts
  • Top speed: 80 mph
  • Payload: 1,550 pounds
  • Bed Volume: 13.4/26.7* cubic-feet Wheel base: 121 inches Vehicle width: 64 inches Towing: 2,000 pounds**
  • Capacity: four people
  • Drivetrain: four-wheel drive on demand

This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022, ABI Research said.

The latest forecasts from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research found that global EV sales are expected to grow by 21% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022, ABI Research said.

"A shortage of chargers and limited ranges are not to blame for this decline. It's evident from sales data and statements by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that the EV market is slowing down and failing to meet its targets," Dylan Khoo, an electric vehicles industry analyst, said. "While insufficient charging infrastructure and range limitations are often cited as reasons for this slowdown, they don't fully explain the stagnation, especially considering that these aspects are actually improving rather than deteriorating. Additionally, these explanations fail to consider the region-specific trends driving the EV sector changes."
