The Electric Power Revolution Comes to the Farm with Hisun UTVs
The Electric Motor Vehicle Company (EMVC) is proud to be part of a world-first by introducing fully electric Lithium-Ion UTVs — the same battery technology used in electric cars — now available for farming and off-road use in New Zealand.
“We’ve teamed up with Hisun, the world’s fastest-growing UTV brand, now represented in over 50 countries,” says Alex de Boer, Managing Director of EMVC. “Their Lithium-powered bikes are engineered in McKinney, Texas, and built in a world-class 160,000 sq.m facility in China — and they deliver everything a Kiwi farmer needs.”
🔋 Why Choose a Hisun Electric UTV?
- Zero fuel costs – Recharge via a standard 15A single-phase outlet. Plug in any time the vehicle isn’t in use.
- Reduce your farm’s CO₂ emissions – One UTV can save over 10,000 kg of CO₂ per year. This helps with Resource Consent and may reduce the need to lower stock numbers.
- Impressive climbing power – Handles slopes up to 31° with ease.
- Ultra-quiet operation – Keeps stock calm and ideal for hunting or early morning starts.
- Minimal maintenance – Fewer moving parts, no oil changes, and battery life of over 5,000 cycles.
- Real-world range – Up to 120 km per charge, depending on terrain and usage. Topping up during breaks extends range even further.
- Simple 3-speed drive system – Choose between Max Range, High, or Low speed. No gear lever or clutch required.
- Top speed: 45 km/h
