EPIC Carts E40L
EPIC's lifted four-seater (an ICON family brand) pairs a 5 kW motor with a 51V/105Ah lithium pack and EPIC's current page lists no range (the 25-mile figure on its 2023 sheet described the AGM-era cart), so we list none. EPIC's own copy only says "street-ready," but it is a genuine factory LSV: NHTSA's registry lists EPIC Distribution as a Low-Speed Vehicle manufacturer with its own VIN prefix. Ships with LSV equipment (turn signals, mirrors, 3-point belts, DOT windshield). Florida dealers list new 2025 units at $11,445 (originally $13,899). It is the 2025 model year: EPIC now files it under Legacy Vehicles, and Florida dealers still list new units while stock lasts. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer price range: $11,445–$13,899 (read Oct 20, 2026).

◆ Range reality check
Computed from the ≈5.36 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.

Street-legal status
Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed
