Electric ATV

I was looking for an ATV or utv for some land I'm buying.
Then got to thinking I really don't need a gas powered one since it will never be more than 1/2 of a mile from power.
There is no road or trail so no need or chance to go faster than 25mph.
But I will need torque.
A 4x4 would be nice but a 2wd machine would have more room for batteries and stuff.

I would like at least a 24v system since I have a 120v powered 7amp 24v floor scrubbing machine charger.
Only thing I would want to stay away from is 36v since I can't hook up a power inverter to it.
I could do 48v if need be, I would have to buy a 48v charger.

Has any one built anything like this?
