Street Legal Golf Carts: Environmentally-Friendly, Affordable, and Convenient

Also known as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV), Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) or street legal golf carts, electric vehicles are a popular choice for transportation. With rising cost of fuel, as well as concern for the environment, LSV and NEV electric vehicles are a growing sector of the transportation industry that has been generating increased interest in recent years. Because street legal golf carts run on batteries, there are no expensive stops at the gas station; simply plug in your electric vehicles to refuel. Further, the short trips that waste the most gas, and therefore money, are those that are best suited for electric vehicles. Not only do they reduce gas consumption, but electric vehicles also have no emissions, making them more environmentally-friendly than gas or diesel powered vehicles. Perfect for those quick trips to the store, getting around the neighborhood or apartment complex, picking up the kids up from the bus stop, and many other uses, countless people have discovered the numerous benefits of electric vehicles.

Other features of street legal golf carts and LSV and NEV electric vehicles that make them appealing to consumers are their safety, low maintenance, and little noise pollution. Perfect for quiet communities, electric vehicles make virtually no noise, even when starting up. Plus, electric vehicles are restricted to use on roads with speed limits at or below 35-45mph in most states, and they generally cannot exceed 25-35mph, meaning there is little chance of a high-speed collision. With safety features such as headlights, taillights, windshields, and seat belts, street legal golf carts are designed to keep passengers secure and make other drivers aware of their presence. Incredibly cost-effective and often reaching 90% energy conversion efficiency, many electric vehicles also come with on-board chargers and can fully recharge in 7 hours or less.
