Global Electric Motorcars, based in North Dakota, produce a range of GEM cars which are in essence converted, street legal, electric golf carts. These small electric vehicles are becoming ever more popular in city neighbourhoods and are increasingly forming an essential part of the community.

Particularly popular in retirement communities the GEMs offer all the ecological benefits of larger electric vehicles but at a fraction of the cost. Neighbourhood Electric Vehicles or NEVs are no longer straightforward golf buggy conversions but are being customised to prove that their owners have street cred and an environmental conscience.

Look Out We're Coming

GoNev provides a range of accessories to boost the NEV’s power output and top speed. By hacking the engines and increasing wheel size top speeds now exceed twenty miles per hour. How long before NEV drag racing takes off? A Google search for images of NEVs produces an almost bewildering range of pimped up cars including those that look like miniature fire trucks, roadsters and stretched limos.

Another advantage of these green machines is that normally a driver’s licence is not required though insurance and vehicle registration are. GEM prices start from as low as $3,600 including available tax credits
