Whats the Difference Between a Golf Cart and a NEV?
UPDATED 12/13/2007 LINCOLN, California — So, you’ve made the decision to “go electric” and are in the market for a “Neighborhood Golf Something-or-other”. Great! Unfortunately, many consumers (and some dealers) are still confused about the difference between a golf cart and a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV). Before you rush down to your local dealer, take a moment to understand which vehicle is right for you. Golf carts and NEVs share many similarities. In fact, you can’t always tell them apart just by looking. Both vehicles are available in many body styles, with a wide variety of aesthetic and mechanical upgrades available. However, state and federal standards define key differences, and affect where you can drive.
