Be extremely curious to see how the batteries do in the cold over the long haul, I know I have had battery issues in Cochrane in February. Very curious to see how it’s goes.

[@pavmentsurfer13]

Tiaga has developed a proprietary liquid heating/cooling system to keep the batteries at optimal temps. If they get hot, it cools them down. If its really cold out, it warms them up. It works constantly when the sled is plugged in. If you leave the sled in the cold over night NOT plugged in, it will warm the battery up before you use it. Takes about 2 minutes and only uses %2 of your battery.

[@alftrotter468]

Sounds like this would work for local riding , but not practical for long distance riding for a week or two traveling from motel to motel where there are no charging capabilities

[@themeach011]

@@alftrotter468 it charges easily over night on any 110v residential plug in. If u can plug in a block heater u can charge your sled. Plus when u charge at an overnight stop the battery will stay warm and be ready for optimal performance when u head out. Like any ev it's best to preheat the battery when you are plugged in so u don't sacrifice range.

[@alftrotter468]

I haven't seen a whole lot of current bushes along the trail or hundreds of available block heater receptacles in places like Matagami or Sept Isles or Hearst. If you have to carry a gas generator to charge it you might just as well stick with a gas engine and then taxpayers won't be expected to pay to charge someone else's machine like cars!!

[@themeach011]

@@alftrotter468 it definitely makes no sense if u have to bring a generator lol. If you plan to go for days in the middle of nowhere it's not going to be an option. I'm not sure what portion of the snowmobiling public would be sledding for days and staying at places with no power but I would guess it's probably a fairly small percentage and I'd be happy to pay an extra couple bucks to the hotel to plug in for the night even though they let you plug your truck in for free when it's cold and this will only use about 1$ more power a night than your truck does when it's plugged in. Sledding mecas will catch on when more and more sleds become electric and I can see that they will want to install plugs for people so they will attract a larger clientele to their hotel. It only makes sense that if these become more popular then the services to use them will improve as well. Not going to happen over night

[@daveross1968]

I'm not a snowmobile owner or rider... but I have to say this thing really got my interest. I'd absolutely love to try it !

[@twincam103]

@@winkiiiie modern sleds have a cvt. I don't think the taiga does. It's just a motor right to the track. That's instant power. So if the track has too much grip you'll be stressing lugs and I can only image how bad studs could be. Right now taiga only is rated at 180hp. 300 could very well be too much.

@@profdave2861 depends on the climate current electric batteries if you read the label freeze at -25c and you should have them in a warmer area when it go down to -50 this winter my neighbour wasnt using his tesla just his civic. what we will have is electric and hydrogen

[@josephv5484]

@@polskiewinnipeg the lithium titanate batteries are good for much lower temperatures. I'd be surprised if taiga wasn't using these or similar. These are not normally used in a car as they are slightly more expensive, but the pack is a Lot bigger in a car, so the incremental price difference isn't much in a sled. We used our Tesla right through the winter, but it is the newest iteration from just before Christmas and has much better cold weather performance than the previous version.

[@themeach011]

Well sledding already smells a lot different than it did when I was a kid. Times change

[@PatriotBrad]

So here is a thought. Right now a snowmobile has CVT and your lucky if 60% of that makes it to the chaincase. Without a clutch in these the 120hp version on these should be similar to the 800 class sleds out now.

[@pavmentsurfer13]

Powerloss through a CVT is approximately %15

[@PatriotBrad]

@@pavmentsurfer13 its no where near that good on a snowmobile even with good clutching. Add in like 10% loss for chaincase and drive shaft and you end up with the typical track dyno hp 50% of engine hp.

This is a perfectly timed review Luke...😳. “SHAWINIGAN and MONTREAL, March 26, 2021 Taiga, a leader in off-road vehicle electrification, has announced plans to build a mass production plant in Shawinigan, Quebec. The first phase of construction, slated for completion in 2022, represents an investment to accelerate mass production of snowmobiles, personal watercraft and side-by-side vehicles slated for 2022.” “This facility, a part of the $185M in recently announced funding, will bolster Taiga into becoming a globally leading OEM for powersports vehicles,” said Samuel Bruneau, CEO of Taiga. “We have seen strong customer demand limited by product availability. This new facility shows Taiga’s continued commitment to be trailbreakers and offer electric vehicles capable of diving mass-market adoption without compromise.”

[@gkassociates7112]

I began snowmobiling in the mid 70's, I recall all the negativity about oil injection, cuz I bought one of those Yamaha pups. All my riding buddies expected it to Blow up on those cold days. It didn't. Always hard to inject a new concept in any industry. Besides the range and cost there are two killers for myself. First thing - No pull start!! (HeHE) well that'll take gettin used to. 2nd - That beautiful rumble of the 800's coming to life, the smell of that great exhaust left on my snowmobile suit, giving that up? Well thats where I draw the line. I might as well go back to cross country skiing.

This is all well and good but what we need to know and what no one is saying is what is charging times?how long can you travel in the different modes? What really happens when you are using headlights and hand warmers,etc.? Do we freeze to get where we want to go or ride in fear of not making it to our destination. One can always siphon a bit of gas on the trailer to get you out of a situation but what do you do when your battery goes dead? What is the life span of these batteries and is it worth replacing them or do you just scrap the sled? What do you do with the old batteries when they are dead? Sooo many questions and not enough answers.l hope you all do your research as you get all excited based on the comments so far.thank you

[@Ratkill9000]

Carbon fiber is still pretty expensive overall, especially when it breaks. Eventually we'll get to the point where it's more widely available but that could be 10+ years down the road. 144km is 89 miles, which isn't bad for touring. But for those who do a lot of trail riding, unless there's charge points along the route, it may not be worth it. Batteries will get better, especially for winter.

Hey man, i really appreciate how you cover pretty much everything in your videos, on all the snowmobile you try. pretty sure you make the best content out there on snowmobile test. It must of been a hard step for you to learn all this new technology. On the charger part, your comment was pretty accurate except i would of add that the CCS Port it's called, is separated into two categories, one is AC current for home and small chargers. And the bottom two pins is the DC fast chargers so for 50 KW chargers.

[@dustinsamson4879]

How dose it handle? How dose it feel in the corners, is it heavy?

[@Hammy16]

Very interesting! The big question is range and charging infrastructure. I can definitely see a big business case for a ski resort especially operating with a load and having electric motor torque at low rpm, and quiet operation.

[@themeach011]

Charging infrastructure isn't really that important unless you are wanting to ride several hundred kms a day. If it does 140 kms on a charge and u can plug it in over night to a 110v plug then that will be good enough for me. It will also charge in 2 hours on a 220v plug and 20 mins at an ev fast charger. I think most people think they ride further than they do but if you are a 300kms a day guy then it's not the sled for you at this time.

[@themeach011]

Also these things are not just for puttering around. The performance is stellar.

[@jeffm6340]

Does it come with the charging windmill or is that an option? Yes

It’s necessary because many of us won’t have a chance to test ride this thing for a long long time.

Are there heat exchangers still? I would assume so as it still generates heat. My other "concern" would be say you do run out of battery or it malfunctions on the trail. Is there a way to disconnect the drive system for easy towing? Normal sleds we can remove the belt.

It does have a tunnel mounted heat exchanger. I dont know about disconnecting the drive for towing. I very much doubt theres a setting for that.

Great review! I love snowmobiles. I restore old ones, buy and ride new ones and am looking forward to what electric technology can bring to the sport. As always, I appreciate your open and honest input.

About how many miles on a full battery in sport mode?

What is the weight? And does the front feel lighter in the corners because the majority of the weight is in the center?

I have a feeling the high HP model will contend with the new MachZ on the trails. Super interested in these! Excited to see more innovation in the snow machine world!

[@vicfixer378]

Mach z more like srx and thundercat
