Judges described the article, 'Silence is golden with the Polaris Ranger Kinetic', which compared the electric model of the Polaris Ranger Kinetic to the conventional vehicle, as 'an article incredibly well written, informative and a detailed account by someone who really knows what they are talking about' and 'a useful article helping to slay some of the myths associated with electric vehicles'.
