Volcon’s lineup changed dramatically in late 2024 — the flagship Stag UTV (the high-performance pick in this catalog earlier) was discontinued and the brand was acquired by Venom EV. What survived is the MN1 — a light utility vehicle that sits between a premium golf cart and a true UTV.

At $10,000 the MN1 Tradesman is one of the cheapest electric work vehicles you can buy. Tilting cargo bed, 9-inch LCD, Bluetooth, turn signals, and 120V charging (plugs into any outlet). What you don’t get is performance — 25 mph top speed, 2WD only, golf-cart-class capability.

For a small farm, campsite, or HOA-restricted property where 25 mph is the legal max anyway, this is a defensible budget pick. For real UTV off-road work, the Landmaster AMP ($14,999, 4WD) is the closer head-to-head.
