The Future of Personal Transportation Has Been Here for Many Years


As concern grows for the environment and our dependence on petroleum, new types of vehicles such as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) have courted consumers during the last decades with only mixed results.


What consumers want are small electric vehicles that are as convenient as possible for day-to-day use. They want to feel free and have a more socially interactive experience allowing the driver to feel much more a part of the environment.


And that makes the future of personal transportation a vehicle that is well-known in today’s market and that has been around for the last decades.


The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV).


In the 1940s, golf carts were originally built for golfers with disabilities. A golf cart built for use in a supermarket was soon modified into the first mass produced golf cart, becoming the first electric vehicles available to the general public. From then on development continued rapidly and a wide range of different golf carts, and the street-legal NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) expanded the carts’ utility in unanticipated ways.


The demand for street-legal NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) in communities or other urban environments is larger than ever. And since these small electric vehicles are less costly to keep on the road and far less polluting than traditional vehicles there is all the more reason to believe that the demand will increase in years to come.
