GEM e2
The GEM e2 is the two-seat passenger model from GEM (Global Electric Motorcars, a Waev Inc. brand that pioneered the street-legal LSV category). NHTSA's vPIC registry lists GEM as a Low-Speed Vehicle maker, so it is factory-LSV. It pairs a lithium-ion pack with a 5 kW (6.7 hp) AC-induction motor for a 25 mph top speed and a rated range of up to 125 miles, the longest in GEM's line. Standard equipment is unusually complete for the class: three-point seat belts, a laminated automotive-glass windshield, a back-up camera, LED lighting with one-touch turn signals, and regenerative braking with hill control. GEM sells through dealers and does not publish an MSRP.
GEM e4
The GEM e4 is the four-seat, forward-facing passenger model that GEM (Global Electric Motorcars, a Waev Inc. brand) calls its most popular and versatile. NHTSA's vPIC registry lists GEM as a Low-Speed Vehicle maker, so it is factory-LSV. A lithium-ion pack feeds a 6.5 kW (8.7 hp) AC-induction motor for a 25 mph top speed and a rated range of up to 117 miles. It comes standard with three-point seat belts, an automotive-glass windshield, a back-up camera, and LED lighting with one-touch turn signals; a roof-mounted solar panel is optional and GEM says it can extend range by up to 40%. GEM sells through dealers and does not publish an MSRP.
GEM e6
The GEM e6 is the six-seat, forward-facing shuttle in GEM's passenger line (Global Electric Motorcars, a Waev Inc. brand) — GEM pitches it as an alternative to an SUV or van for campuses, resorts, and master-planned communities. NHTSA's vPIC registry lists GEM as a Low-Speed Vehicle maker, so it is factory-LSV. A lithium-ion pack drives a 6.5 kW (8.7 hp) AC-induction motor to a 25 mph top speed, with a rated range of up to 86 miles. Every passenger gets an individual door with a roll-down window, and standard equipment includes three-point seat belts, an automotive-glass windshield, a back-up camera, and LED lighting; HVAC is available. GEM sells through dealers and does not publish an MSRP.
