◆ The verdict

Venom EV Stealth 4 takes it.

It holds the stronger overall balance of range, value, power, and warranty. It's also the only factory-certified LSV of the two — the 4 Forward Facing Street Legal LSV is street-legal only by dealer package or self-attestation. These sit in different divisions (value vs. premium), so weigh the price gap accordingly.
