Dach Vehicles Apollo

The Dach Apollo is the flagship four-passenger street-legal LSV from Dach Vehicle Corp, an Orlando-based maker. It pairs a 72V/105Ah LiFePO4 pack (7.7 kWh, a ~56-mile rated range) and a 6.3 kW AC motor with an automotive-style monocoque chassis, MacPherson front suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a 12.3-inch CarPlay/Android Auto touchscreen with factory cruise control. Dach specs a 25 mph top speed with full LSV lighting, mirrors and windshield. It lands around $14,000 at dealers — a heavily-equipped cart at a premium, not luxury, price. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $13,980–$13,995.

Maker claims 56 mi

Computed from the 7.728 kWh pack at a standard 0.125 kWh per mile — the same efficiency on every model, so ranges compare apples-to-apples. Real-world range varies with load, terrain, speed, and battery age.

Our figures, from verified specs + MSRP — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate. Cost per kWh is what the price actually buys you in battery — the single figure that separates a cheap cart from an under-batteried one, and almost nobody publishes it. Pack energy is the maker's published kWh where they give one, otherwise volts × amp-hours.
