Classified as low-speed
vehicles, or neighborhood
electric vehicles, by the
.ATIONAL(IGHWAY4RAFlC
Safety Administration,
GEM cars are street-legal
in nearly all 50 states on
public roads posted at 35
mph or less.
Every GEM model meets or
exceeds the federal safety
standards for low-speed
vehicles (LSVs). LSVs have
a top speed of 25 mph and
a range of up to 40* miles
on a charge.
GEM cars plug into a standard
110-volt outlet and recharge
in approximately six to
eight hours.
*Tested at max speed of 25 mph with nine
8-volt battery package and full payload.
Ready, Set, Unplug, and Go!
The cost savings begin when you plug-in your GEM utility for the first
time. Every GEM model costs just pennies a day to operate. In fact,
a comparable gasoline vehicle would have to achieve 150 mpg to
match the fuel efficient GEM car.
And, a GEM car is virtually maintenance free! The cost of ownership
is just one-third that of a comparable gasoline vehicle because oil
changes and other related expenses are eliminated.
