That's really interesting. An electric UTV that could do that kind of work, at brand new price, would be around $20k. It wouldn't have a dump bed, though. One thing those UTVs have is a snow plow attachment. Not sure this little truck has the torque for that. Yes, electric motors do have good torque, but that doesn't necessarily mean the little Chinese truck can do it.

He mentioned he spent quite a bit more to get it imported, but didn't specify the whole price.

I think it was under $10k
