Venom EV Stealth 4

The Venom EV Stealth 4 is a forward-facing four-passenger street-legal LSV assembled by Venom EV (Monroe, WI) from imported components under its own NHTSA VINs. It pairs a 5 kW rear-drive motor with a 52V/105Ah LiFePO4 (Eco Battery) system for a factory-rated 25 mph in LSV mode (19 mph in default cart mode), with a 10-inch CarPlay/Android Auto touchscreen, backup camera, hydraulic four-wheel disc brakes, and independent front/rear suspension standard. NHTSA's registry confirms Venom as a Low-Speed Vehicle manufacturer, so it's a self-certified LSV rather than a converted cart. Sold dealer-only at roughly $12,499–$13,995, with a 3-year powertrain and 8-year battery warranty. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $12,499–$13,995.

◆ Range reality check

~44mi, normalized

Computed from the 5.46 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

  • Factory-certified LSV — VIN'd, titleable, and insurable with no dealer conversion.
  • 8-year battery warranty is among the longest in the field.

Trade-offs

  • Manufacturer hasn't published a range figure — we left it blank rather than guess.

Street-legal status

Factory street-legal (LSV) — no kit needed

Factory-certified LSV (NHTSA-registered, WMI 1V9260). Ships in 19 mph cart mode by default; the dealer enables the 25 mph LSV mode. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, but this one ships at 19 mph and the 25 mph street-legal setup is a paid factory configuration. Below 20 mph it is not a Low-Speed Vehicle and cannot be titled as one, so confirm in writing that the LSV configuration is fitted before you buy it to register.
