Quoted: What advantages does an electric snowmobile have over one powered by a gasoline engine which can be refueled almost instantly? I suppose the primary advantage is that it doesn't need gasoline. Reading their website, it can go up to 136 miles on one charge, and depending on battery choice can charge in 15 minutes to 8 hours. I imagine with that kind of capacity and range, it'd rarely run down. Since it doesn't need gas, if you were in a remote location you could charge it with solar panels. Another advantage to electric vehicles is their simplicity. Fewer things to go wrong then with an internal combustion engine. ..but I'm spitballing.

Quoted: You'd need a hell of a lot of panels to recharge it in any reasonable amount of time. Then, there's that pesky problem of the sun only shining when it damned well feels like it...
