| An N.E.V. (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) is a low-speed electric vehicle that looks a little larger than a traditional golf car and is limited to a top speed of 25 mph. NEVs are required to stay on roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. They are equipped with street legal equipment that includes headlights, tail lights, turn signals and brake lights, seat belts, windshield and rear-view mirrors.
NEVs are a great alternative travel solution for short commutes. They are perfect for driving in and around city centers, master planned communities, resorts, industrial and college campuses and any location that requires short-trip driving. No tailpipe emissions make an NEV a great indoor/outdoor vehicle for warehousing and maintenance department use. With a cost of just pennies per mile, by using an NEV for local driving and errands you can cut your fuel costs considerably. If you are cruising in one of our solar vehicles, you could be cutting your fuel cost to zero!
Charging up an NEV is easy. Chargers plug into any 110-volt outlet. A full charge takes just six to eight hours, but batteries can be “topped off” by plugging the vehicle in to an outlet any time it’s not in use. The only ongoing maintenance required is a monthly check of the batteries to maintain the required levels of distilled water, and to check your tire pressure.
Some of the key features of owning an NEV as a second car for quick around-town trips are:
- Silent running characteristics
- Fun to drive
- Zero emissions
- Available seating up to six
- No tune-ups
- No oil changes
