Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Volcon, Inc., an electric off-road vehicle manufacturer, has entered into agreements with the U.S. Army, including orders for Stag UTVs and a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). These vehicles are intended for non-combat purposes like disaster response and urban search and rescue. Critics point to this military involvement as a minor misalignment with 'No War, No Weapons' values, despite the dual-use nature of the technology. While its electric focus inherently supports environmental goals, specific data on Volcon's planet-friendly practices or ethical sourcing of battery materials is not available, nor is information on worker respect or community impact.
