NO ROOM FOR RANGE ANXIETY

With impressive battery-only range of approximately 35-40 miles, Ultimate Top Drives’ vehicles can comfortably cover the entirety of many ranches on a single charge. Terrain and driving habits can affect range.

In the following examples, a range of common ranch sizes are divided into 1/3 mile grid increments (approximately 587 yards) which allows views of a few hundred yards in each direction.

On this 640 acre ranch, a typical route would follow the fenceline to a back corner, then cover the property with interior sweeps.

  • Drive the fenceline to a back corner of the ranch, then cover the property with sweeps 1/3 miles apart.

    • 1 hour, 6 minutes @ 5 MPH

    • 41 minutes @ 8 MPH

    • 33 minutes @ 10 MPH

  • This outing would diminish the battery by 13% to 18%. The generator is not needed at all.

  • Using 240V, the vehicle can be fully charged in approximately 31 to 43 minutes.

Drive the perimeter of a 640 acre ranch 7 to 10 times on a single charge.

On this 2,560 acre ranch, a typical route would follow the fenceline to a back corner, then cover the property with interior sweeps.

  • Drive the fenceline to a back corner of the ranch, then cover the property with sweeps 1/3 miles apart.

    • 3 hours, 18 minutes @ 5 MPH

    • 2 hours, 4 minutes @ 8 MPH

    • 1 hour, 39 minutes @ 10 MPH

  • This outing would diminish the battery by 41% to 55%. The generator is not needed at all.

  • Using 240V, the vehicle can be fully charged in approximately 1 hour, 38 minutes to 2 hours, 12 minutes.

Drive the perimeter of a 2,560 acre ranch 3 to 5 times on a single charge.

Large ranches of 10,000+ acres are typically split into multiple outings.

On this 10,240 acre ranch, the property would be covered by 2 outings with a break in between for lunch, with the vehicle being conveniently charged during the break.

  • Drive the fenceline to a back corner of the ranch, then cover half of the property with sweeps 1/3 miles apart.

    • 5 hours, 42 minutes @ 5 MPH

    • 3 hours, 34 minutes @ 8 MPH

    • 2 hour, 51 minutes @ 10 MPH

  • Outing 1 would diminish the battery by 71% to 95%. The generator is likely not needed.

  • The vehicle can be charged during the midday break. Using 240V, it can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours, 50 minutes to 3 hours, 48 minutes.

  • Drive the opposite fenceline to a back corner of the ranch, then cover half of the property with sweeps 1/3 miles apart.

    • 5 hours, 36 minutes @ 5 MPH

    • 3 hours, 30 minutes @ 8 MPH

    • 2 hour, 48 minutes @ 10 MPH

  • Outing 2 would diminish the battery by 70% to 93%. The generator is likely not needed.

  • Using 240V, the vehicle can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours, 48 minutes to 3 hours, 43 minutes.

  • Running the generator and charging the vehicle while driving (hybrid mode) will reduce the subsequent charging time by approximately the length of time that the vehicle was driven in hybrid mode.

    For example, if a 2 hour shorter midday break / lunch is desired, run the vehicle in hybrid mode for 2 hours while driving the first half of the property.

Drive the perimeter of a 10,240 acre ranch 2 times on a single charge.
