ICON EV i40L

ICON's 4-seat lifted cart with a 51V/105Ah lithium battery and 10-inch touchscreen standard on the 2025 model, and a 25 mph top speed; ICON publishes no range and we found only one dealer figure (25–30 miles), so we list none. It is a genuine factory Low-Speed Vehicle: NHTSA's manufacturer registry lists ICON EV's i40 as an LSV, and ICON's FAQ calls its LSVs FMVSS 500-compliant with a 17-digit VIN. One caveat — ICON's 2023 spec sheet lists the DOT windshield as an option. Dealer pricing observed $9,500–$11,495. It is the 2025 model year: ICON now files it under Legacy Vehicles, and Florida dealers still list new units while stock lasts. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer price range: $9,500–$11,495 (read Oct 20, 2026).

The maker no longer lists the ICON EV i40L in its current lineup, but Florida dealers still list new units, so it stays in our comparisons. It leaves the catalog one year after dealers stop selling it.

◆ Range reality check

~43mi, normalized

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.
