The 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric ATV is the latest addition to BRP’s zero-emission stable that already includes electric motorcycles and snowmobiles

Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has added a new electric option to its off-road lineup with the launch of the 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV).

The Outlander Electric starts at $17,799. It delivers 47 horsepower and 53 lb-ft of torque, with a maximum range of 80 kilometres under ideal conditions. Riders can toggle between three drive modes (Normal, Sport and Work) and recharge from 20 to 80 per cent in about 50 minutes using a Level 2 charger.

It is also capable of towing up to 830 kg (1,830 lbs).

“The Outlander Electric is a powerful, quiet, and capable ATV that reflects our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” says José Boisjoli, president and CEO of BRP, in a press statement.

“This is another important step in our journey to play a leadership role in this technological evolution and to bolster our offering with completely new experiences, electrified with our very own technology.”

BRP emphasizes a quiet ride as one of the Outlander Electric’s defining features. Along with its electric powertrain, the ATV uses noise-reducing XPS Recon Force tires, an optimized suspension and a low-noise cooling system.

“With the Outlander Electric, we’re not just launching a new ATV, we’re introducing a new way to experience the outdoors and get the job done,” says Julie Tourville, director, global marketing, Can-Am Off-Road at BRP.

“This vehicle is built to let riders and workers feel more connected to their surroundings.”

Electric lineup

BRP says the launch of the Outlander Electric underscores its longer-term push to reimagine powersports through “purpose-built electric models that deliver all the excitement of combustion, but with a different, equally thrilling ride experience.”

The company’s electric lineup also includes the Can-Am Pulse and Origin electric motorcycles, which were introduced last year and marked BRP’s return to the two-wheeled market. Since the launch, rider feedback has been positive, says BRP, with many highlighting the bikes’ strong torque, smooth handling and near-silent operation.

Backed by a global network of over 200 dealers, the models are aimed at both urban commuters and dual-sport riders. Each motorcycle model is powered by an 8.9-kWh liquid-cooled battery system. The Pulse has a range of up to 160 km of city range with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds, while the Origin can stretch out to 145 km while off-roading and go from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds

BRP also rolled out its first electric snowmobiles under the Ski-Doo and Lynx brands in 2023. Now, four electric models are available for consumers, tour operators, ski centres and resorts.

BRP has development centres in Valcourt, Quebec and Gunskirchen, Austria; and assembles across Mexico and Finland. The company designs and builds its electric powertrain in-house, from the inverter, motor, charger and control software. This gives the company more control over performance, charging and the ability to scale electrification in the long term.

“At BRP, our approach to electrification is intentional and strategic — we electrify where it makes business sense and adds real value to customers,” says Boisjoli.
