Canada Just Turned A Giant Diesel Truck Into A Silent, Electric Ice Explorer

  • Canada’s Pursuit has converted one of its old diesel ice explorers to electric.
  • The refurbished EV is powered by a huge, 528 kWh battery, which is big enough for about 30 trips up and down the Columbia Icefield.
  • The old cabin was kept, but the chassis and the driveline are completely new.

Canada’s 10,000-year-old Columbia Icefield can now be explored in complete silence, thanks to the world’s first all-electric ice explorer.
