Solana EV XA 6P

The six-seat XA on the same 72V 105Ah pack and 7.5 kW motor, 142.9 inches long with an 18 ft turning radius, $12,995 at Capital Carts. Solana's spec table says 19 mph; the dealer's "up to 25 MPH, fully street-legal" line is the dealer's claim, not Solana's, so treat it as a golf car until the dealer documents the LSV build. Street-legal: no. MSRP range: $12,995.

Not a factory LSV — street-legal by dealer package or self-attestation

Solana's spec table and rendered brochure say 19 mph; its 'DOT Compliant Safety Package' covers equipment, and no Solana page states LSV, VIN or FMVSS 500 for the XA. A dealer advertises 25 mph street-legal units — get the LSV build documented before buying for road use.

◆ Range reality check

~60mi, normalized

Computed from the ≈7.56 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 + 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.

Where it wins, where it gives

Strengths

  • Seats 6.

Trade-offs

  • Tops out at 19 mph — under the 20 mph LSV floor, so as sold it's a golf cart, not a street-legal LSV.
  • Manufacturer hasn't published a range figure — we left it blank rather than guess.

Street-legal status

Not a factory LSV — here's the conversion path

Solana's spec table and rendered brochure say 19 mph; its 'DOT Compliant Safety Package' covers equipment, and no Solana page states LSV, VIN or FMVSS 500 for the XA. A dealer advertises 25 mph street-legal units — get the LSV build documented before buying for road use.

The honest caveat

A kit adds equipment— lights, signals, mirrors, belts. It does not make a cart a factory-certified LSV. Federal LSV status (FMVSS 500 + a 17-digit VIN) is set at the factory and can't be bolted on afterward. Most light kits stop at lighting, so you may still need mirrors, a DOT windshield, seat belts, and a dealer speed increase to reach the 20-25 mph window — and some states won't register a DIY conversion as an LSV at all. Check your local golf-cart vs. LSV rules before driving on public roads.
