Electric UTV Charging Time Calculator
Enter battery size, start and target charge, and charger power. Result updates instantly.
kW = V × A ÷ 1000. We apply efficiency below.
Time needed to recharge

- Energy added: — kWh
- Effective power: — kW
Estimates only. Charging may taper near full. Follow your manufacturer guidance.
How to use this calculator
Step 1: Pick a model preset or select Custom.
Step 2: Enter battery size in kWh. If your spec sheet lists Volts × Amp-hours, switch to Volts × Ah and we convert to kWh for you.
Step 3: Set starting SOC and target SOC.
Step 4: Enter charger power. Use kW directly or enter volts and amps.
Step 5: See time to recharge, kWh added, and the local ready-by time.
How the math works
Time (hours) = Battery kWh × SOC change ÷ Effective kW
Effective kW = Charger kW × efficiency (we default to 0.90).
This aligns with published charge times. For example, Polaris lists 0 to 100 percent at about 5 hours on 240 V for the Ranger XP Kinetic Premium with the 3 kW onboard charger, and about 10 hours on 120 V. Entering similar kW values in the tool replicates those results.
Supported models and presets
The tool includes presets for the most searched electric UTVs and work-utility rigs. Use Custom if your pack or charger differs.
| Model | Battery | Onboard AC charge | Published 0–100 percent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic Premium | 14.7 kWh | 3 kW, 120 V or 240 V | ~10 h on 120 V, ~5 h on 240 V | No DC fast charging. |
| Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic Ultimate | 29.8 kWh | 6 kW, 120 V or 240 V | ~20 h on 120 V, ~5 h on 240 V | No DC fast charging. |
| Polaris Pro XD Kinetic | 14.7 kWh | 3 kW standard, 6 kW accessory option | ~10 h on 120 V, ~5 h on 240 V | Commercial variant, AC only. |
| Landmaster AMP (48 V) | 105 Ah or 160 Ah packs. Use Volts × Ah input | 110 V household | About 8 hours per Landmaster | Exact kWh depends on pack. |
| Hisun Sector E1 (48 V) | capacity not published on site | 1.2 kW onboard | 6 to 10 hours | Dry-cell pack, AC only. |
| TRACKER OX EV | lithium, kWh not published | 0.9 kW onboard | about 6 hours | Enter pack kWh for exact math. |
| TRACKER EV iS (72 V) | 6 × 12 V lead-acid, kWh varies | off-board 72 V charger | 8 to 12 hours | Use Volts × Ah mode. |
| John Deere Gator TE 4×2 | 12 kWh | onboard high-frequency charger | not listed | Eight Trojan T-105 batteries. |
| Toro Workman GTX Lithium | 4.32 kWh or 6.48 kWh | 900 W onboard | not listed | Toro spec sheet lists energy and charger. |
| Cushman Hauler PRO ELiTE | ELiTE lithium (capacity varies) | 811 W World Charger | not listed | Enter pack kWh if known. |
| Greenworks U500 series | 8 kWh | AC charge, brand lists 7 h | up to 40 miles per charge | 82 V platform. |
| Greenworks U800 series | 16 kWh | AC charge, brand lists 11 h | up to 75 miles per charge | 82 V platform. |
| Vanderhall Brawley GTS | 40 kWh | ~6 kW AC plus CCS DC fast | varies | Specialty off-road EV. DC fast supported. |
Tip: if your plate or brochure shows 48 V 160 Ah, enter Volts 48 and Ah 160. The tool converts that to 7.68 kWh automatically.
Accuracy tips
- Published times are 0 to 100 percent. Real owners often charge 20 to 80 percent. Use the SOC sliders to reflect that.
- Know your wall power. 120 V household circuits often deliver about 1.4 to 1.8 kW in real use. The Polaris Kinetic times above reflect that. Entering 120 V and 12 to 15 A will match the 10 hour guidance for the Premium pack.
- Cold slows everything. At about 50 °F and below, packs can warm before charging at full rate, which increases time. Polaris advises allowing warmup and planning longer charge windows in the cold.
- Most UTVs are AC only. Do not assume DC fast charging. Polaris specifically warns that Kinetic is not compatible with Level 3 DC. The Brawley GTS is a notable exception and supports CCS.
Example checks against OEM guidance
- Ranger XP Kinetic Premium at 120 V and about 12 A equals roughly 1.4 kW to the charger. 0 to 100 percent is about 10 hours, which is what Polaris publishes. Entering 120 V, 12 A, Start 0, Target 100 will show the same order of magnitude.
- Ranger XP Kinetic Ultimate at 240 V and 6 kW onboard shows about 5 hours for a full charge, matching Polaris.
- Sector E1 uses a 1.2 kW onboard charger and lists 6 to 10 hours to full. Entering around 10 kWh with 1.2 kW produces similar times.
Common questions
Can I DC fast charge an electric UTV
Most cannot. Polaris Kinetic and Pro XD Kinetic are AC only. Do not attempt Level 3 DC. Vanderhall Brawley GTS supports CCS DC fast if you use a compatible station.
How do I convert 48 V lead-acid to kWh
Multiply Volts × Amp-hours ÷ 1000. Example: 48 V × 160 Ah equals 7.68 kWh. Enter those numbers in Volts × Ah mode.
Why is my result longer than expected in winter
Batteries warm first, chargers can reduce current, and the last 10 percent can taper. Polaris notes longer charge times in low temperatures and recommends warming the pack before riding.
Safety and battery health
Use only the OEM-approved charger and follow the vehicle’s temperature limits. Tracker’s OX EV manual, for example, restricts charging outside its stated temperature range.
