Question 1

What is a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV)?

Accepted Answer

An NEV is a US vehicle classification for low-speed electric vehicles capped at 25 mph (40 km/h), permitted on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph, with lighter safety-certification requirements than a standard passenger car.

Question 2

How fast can the Eli ZERO go?

Accepted Answer

In its U.S. LSV/NEV configuration, the Eli ZERO is capped at 25 mph (40 km/h). In its European L6e-homologated configuration, it's capped at 45 km/h.

Question 3

What is the Eli ZERO's price and range?

Accepted Answer

The Eli ZERO starts at $11,990 in the U.S. before destination, taxes and registration. Eli currently quotes 60–90 miles of range for its U.S. 8- and 12-kWh LFP configurations, while the separate European L6e version is listed with an 8 kWh battery and a claimed 100 km range.

Question 4

Is the Eli ZERO available in India?

Accepted Answer

No. The Eli ZERO has no official Indian launch, and India's MoRTH quadricycle regulations don't have a direct equivalent to the US LSV/NEV category it's built around.

Question 5

How is a NEV different from a European L6e quadricycle?

Accepted Answer

A U.S. LSV, commonly called an NEV, is federally limited to 25 mph (40 km/h) under the U.S. LSV safety framework. The European Eli ZERO is homologated as an L6e light quadricycle, limited to 45 km/h and subject to EU L-category requirements, including a 425-kg maximum mass-in-running-order limit and a two-seat maximum.
