Review :: GEM vehicles are classified as low-speed vehicles, or neighborhood electric vehicles, and are street legal in most states on public roads posted at 35 mph or less. With a top speed of 25 mph, GEM vehicles have a range of up to 30 miles on a charge and are great for traveling around neighborhoods, city centers or job sites. GEM vehicles are battery-electric, operate on a 72-volt battery system and plug into a standard 110-volt outlet. What makes GEM vehicles so unique is that they can be recharged anytime, anywhere a 110-volt outlet is available and recharge in approximately six to eight hours³.

About GEM

Global Electric Motorcars (GEM), a DaimlerChrysler company, has been in operation for almost ten years. Located in Fargo, North Dakota, GEM manufactured its first vehicle in April 1998, a 48-volt GEM vehicle that accommodated two passengers and had a top speed of 20 mph. Less than two months later, a significant breakthrough occurred in the market as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) designated a new class of motor vehicle, the low-speed vehicle, also known as the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV). The low-speed vehicle class allowed GEM vehicles to be driven on public roads if they met certain safety criteria such as having safety belts, headlamps, windshield wipers, and safety glass. GEM vehicles always come equipped with these safety features making them a benchmark in the industry.
