Comments on: NEV/LSV State Registration Volume Small But Showing High Growth http://smallvehicles.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/nevlsv-state-registration-volume-small-but-showing-high-growth/ Information & insight about the small, task-oriented vehicle market (utility vehicles, NEVs/LSVs and golf cars) Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:59:50 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Richard Marks http://smallvehicles.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/nevlsv-state-registration-volume-small-but-showing-high-growth/#comment-74 Richard Marks Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:06:01 +0000 http://smallvehicles.wordpress.com/?p=64#comment-74 Not sure your mnemonic STOV (Small Task Oriented Vehicles) will ever catch on. I prefer to stick with LSV for street legal Low Speed Vehicles. This market is much larger than it would appear to be by looking at sales. What this market wants based on our market research and talking to people in both fleet businesses and private users is not what is available today. By our estimates, we believe this addressable market could be close to 1M vehicles per year and not 5,000 per year. We are entering this market with a great deal of automotive understanding (OEM & Tier 1 suppiers) and have translated these missing features into product attributes in our family of products. EcoVElectric is a city/urban electric Low Speed Vehicle that is priced starting under $10,000. EcoV is roadworthy, weather-worthy, and crashworthy with bullet-proof proven reliability. Once our funding is in place, we will start building product in our plant in Detroit. EcoV will put a major jump up in LSV volumes and the desire to buy a LSV. (We still have opportunities for investors!) Now EcoV will qualify its private buyers to receive a significant tax credit as a plug-in electric vehicle.

US based GEM has some exports but I think only about a 1000 since their inception and some of these are in Asia. sorry I do not have any figures. you may want to try Smith Electric Vehicles (Tanfield Group plc) although they are more electric truck than utility vehicle.
