ICON EV i40X

The ICON i40X is the standard 4-passenger car on ICON's current ICON X platform, sharing its drivetrain with our i40FX: a 48V 5 kW three-phase motor, a 450A controller and a 51V/105Ah ECO lithium pack, with four-wheel disc brakes, an electromagnetic parking brake, front double-wishbone independent suspension and the dealer-adjustable ICONIC Lift System. It ships road-ready — full LED lighting with turn signals, four 3-point belts, a back-up camera and a foldable DOT-certified windshield — behind a 10.1-inch CarPlay/Android Auto touchscreen. ICON publishes no top speed, range, dimensions, curb weight or MSRP for the X-series; the price shown is a dealer street price. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer price range: $10,995–$12,295 (read Sep 30, 2026).

◆ Range reality check

~43mi, normalized
Maker claims 40 mi

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

Factory-certified LSV (ICON EV is NHTSA-registered). ICON publishes no top speed for the X-series; its i40FX sibling ships 19 mph with the 25 mph LSV setup as a factory configuration, so confirm the 25 mph LSV config with the dealer before buying. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, so there is no aftermarket conversion to do. Confirm the delivered speed configuration with the dealer before you buy: titling it as an LSV depends on that 20-25 mph rating, and we only publish a top speed when the maker does.
