Volcon ePowersports (Nasdaq:VLCN) ('Volcon' or the 'Company'), the first all-electric, off-road powersports company, is pleased to announce the launch of a new floor plan financing and retail financing program provided by Dealer Direct Financial, a department of First Community Bank. This initiative will enable Volcon's network of dealers to finance their inventory purchases, providing them with enhanced access to the Company's groundbreaking electric off-road vehicles. The floor plan will provide flexible financial solutions designed to support inventory acquisition and drive sales of Volcon's cutting-edge products. By facilitating dealer access to affordable financing, Volcon aims to expand its market presence and ensure that customers nationwide can experience the next generation of off-road adventure with the Company's electric vehicles. 'We are excited to offer this floor plan program to our dealer network, which will empower them to grow their businesses while helping accelerate the adoption of our all-electric off-road vehicles,' said John Kim, CEO of Volcon. 'This program reflects our commitment to strengthening dealer relationships and furthering our mission to revolutionize the powersports industry with sustainable, high-performance electric vehicles.' The new floor plan program is a significant step in Volcon's strategy to scale its operations and support its growing network of dealers as they meet increasing demand for Volcon's innovative electric powersports offerings. 'We're proud to partner with Volcon in supporting their innovative approach to the powersports market,' said Steve Wilcoxon, president of Dealer Direct Financial. 'Our floor plan program is designed to give dealers the flexibility and access they need to meet customer demand and grow their businesses. By offering tailored financing solutions, we're helping bring Volcon's electric off-road vehicles to more showrooms-and more riders-across the country.' About Volcon Based in the Austin, Texas area, Volcon was founded as the first all-electric power sports company producing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Volcon electric vehicles are the future of off-roading, not only because of their environmental benefits but also because of their near-silent operation, which allows for a more immersive outdoor experience. Volcon's vehicle roadmap includes both motorcycles and UTVs. Its first product, the innovative Grunt, began shipping to customers in late 2021 and combines a fat-tired physique with high-torque electric power and a near-silent drive train. The Volcon Grunt EVO, an evolution of the original Grunt with a belt drive, an improved suspension, and seat, began shipping to customers in October 2023. The Brat is Volcon's first foray into the wildly popular eBike market for both on-road and off-road riding and is currently being delivered to dealers across North America. In 2024, Volcon entered the rapidly expanding LUV and UTV market and shipped its first production MN1 unit in October 2024. The new MN1 and HF1 products empower the driver to explore the outdoors in a new and unique way that gas-powered units cannot. They offer the same thrilling performance of a standard LUV / UTV without the noise (or pollution), allowing the driver to explore the outdoors with all their senses.

Vehicle manufacturer unveils next-gen offroad model with serious power — here's how you can get your hands on one
The electric utility task vehicle (UTV) market is a growing one, but it's not without its hurdles. One of the biggest of those hurdles is the average electric UTV's relative lack of power compared to its gas-powered counterparts. Fortunately, Volcon ePowersports is looking to change that with its next-gen Volcon HF1. Regardless of a UTV's particular function in your life, less power means less of what you're looking for. It's fair, then, to have trouble switching to electric if you're going to be losing power. With the Volcon HF1, the switch should require a lot less contemplation. These electric offroaders are elevating what electric power can do. At an average speed of 25 miles per hour, they offer up to 50 miles per charge. The top speed, however, is 50 mph, making them a lot more comparable to the average gas-powered UTV (45-60 mph) than previous models. If you were going to purchase an EV, which of these factors would be most important to you? Cost Battery range Power and speed The way it looks Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Volcon's website highlights the broad versatility of its new UTVs. Whether you're using yours for work or play, the company's aim is to provide you with all you need. That includes some premium features, like a push-start ignition, a 13-inch LCD display, and Bluetooth connectivity. So, how can you get one? Well, according to the website, the Volcon HF1 is in limited supply at the moment. You'll need to contact the company directly to learn more. The all-electric UTV has just been rolled out in the U.K., too, so reach out if you're looking for an offroader that drives on the left side of the terrain. This new UTV is great news for those looking to switch to electric. Beyond the amazing benefits of less pollution and more sustainability, an electric UTV has a ton to offer. No gas means more money in your pocket, and less maintenance means that, plus fewer headaches. You can get your work done or just have some fun while protecting both the environment and your bank account. In a recent press release, Volcon CEO John Kim summed it up perfectly: "The HF1 is a game-changer in the industry, providing users with an incredibly powerful, eco-friendly alternative that doesn't sacrifice performance."
