Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing an eco-mode in an electric utility vehicle. One example system includes an electric utility vehicle comprising an electrically driven component. a user actuable input device, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive an input from the user actuable input device. The electronic processor is configured to determine, based on the input. an operational mode for the electric utility vehicle. The electronic processor is configured to operate the electrically driven component based on the operational mode to limit an amount of electrical power consumed by the electrically driven component.

An electric utility vehicle comprising:
- an electrically driven component;
- a user actuable input device;
- and
- an electronic processor configured to:
- receive an input from the user actuable input device;
- determine, based on the input, an operational mode for the electric utility vehicle;
- and
- operate the electrically driven component based on the operational mode to limit an amount of electrical power consumed by the electrically driven component.
