Denago EV Nomad XL
The Denago Nomad XL is a street-legal four-passenger (2+2) low-speed vehicle on a lifetime-warranty aluminum chassis, powered by a 51.2V/105Ah LiFePO4 pack and a 5 kW (6.3 kW peak) AC motor for a 25 mph top speed and 40+ miles of range. It ships standard with four-wheel disc brakes, independent front and rear suspension, a 2.5-inch lift, all-terrain tires, a rear camera, and a CarPlay/Android Auto touchscreen. Against Denago's Rover XL, the Nomad XL is the lifted, value-oriented 2+2 trim at $9,995 — the entry into Denago's 4-seat lineup, sharing the same lithium drivetrain and LSV certification while trading the Rover's fuller fit-and-finish for a lower sticker. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer-quoted MSRP range: $9,995 (read Oct 20, 2026).

◆ Range reality check
Computed from the ≈5.38 kWh pack (system voltage × amp-hours) 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 + the cart's sourced price — 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.
