What is a Medium Speed Vehicle (MSV)?
MSVs are generally considered 35 MPH urban and suburban vehicles. MSVs are not for high-speed highway use and are currently legal in Montana, Washington, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Minnesota and Utah. The first MSV laws were enacted in 2007. Each of these states have unique MSV requirements that must be followed. Most others states require speeds to be limited to 25 MPH and a few states still do not allow this class of electric vehicle. MSVs are a superset of NEVs, also required to be fully compliant with the FMVSS500 specification. The Evergreen ECH is the first purpose designed MSV! If your state does not yet allow MSVs, we encourage you to contact your state representatives.
