Polaris EV LSV to be Used by the Government

Polaris Defense yesterday announced it has been awarded a new contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) to sell the Polaris all electric, on-road and off-road Low Speed Vehicle (LSV), known as the Polaris EV LSV, to Government customers.

Polaris Defense currently sells a portfolio of vehicles via GSA, on Schedule 78, but under the new contract, the company can sell its EV LSV under Schedule 23V which is specifically for vehicles that meet the LSV requirements.

The Polaris EV LSV is the only 4 wheel drive vehicle on GSA Schedule 23V.

“The award of this GSA contract allows Polaris Defense to provide an innovative, leap-ahead four-wheel drive, electric vehicle to our government customers, while giving them a centralized purchasing point to buy our products,” said Mark McCormick, managing director of Polaris Defense.

“Using electric LSV vehicles such as the Polaris EV LSV directly supports the US Government initiative to ‘Go Green’ on its installations and facilities.”

The Polaris EV LSV is based off the RANGER EV platform, Polaris’ first off-road, electric vehicle, and includes features such as horn, turn signals, automotive-quality windshield and rear view mirror, for on-road use.

The vehicle is powered by a 30 horsepower electric motor, and it is characterized by a quiet operation, 50 mile range and 25 mph top speed, which makes it the most-capable LSV available for government use. Moreover, it boasts a 1,000-pound payload capacity, 1,250 lbs. of towing and On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive for tough terrain.
