Imagine This Nearly 1,000 Horsepower EV Motor In Your Next UTV

There's something positively intoxicating about the way the Stark Varg delivers its monumental horsepower to the dirt. I've had the EX now for a couple days, and playing with the prancing ponies locked away in its lithe little electric motor is one of those things you just have to experience for yourself. Especially when you kick up the juice doled out to that lone rear wheel. 

And EVs are especially good at that job, as you can either meter out all those rampaging horses with precise control, or just let them absolutely cook and set your hair on fire. I still haven't touched the 80 horsepower setting, as the 60 horsepower level will light up that rear wheel at a staggering 50+ mph. 

But whereas motorcycles have been quick to adopt EV solutions, though with varying degrees of success—LiveWire vs. Energica vs. Stark vs. Zero—the UTV world, which makes more sense to my neanderthal mind, hasn't been as forward-thinking. Only a few out of the numerous options across the spectrum feature electrification, whereas you'd think it'd be easier than a bike, given you don't have the same space constraints.
