Neighborhood Electric Vehicle Definitions
“The NEV goes directly to market immediately.”
What is it? Wikipedia Definition of NEV:
A Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is an American term for a speed limited battery
electric vehicle (usually 25 miles per hour in the U.S.A.) restricted by law to operation
on roads with speed limits not exceeding 35 MPH. These speed restrictions are required
because of a lack of federally mandated safety equipment and features which NEV's
can not accommodate because of their design. To satisfy requirements for operation
on streets, NEVs are equipped with three-point seat belts, windshields and windshield
wipers, running lights, headlights, brake lights, reflectors, rear view mirrors, and turn
signals. In many cases, doors may be optional, and crash protection from other vehicles
is almost non-existent. However, some makers are starting to use doors and steel
impact beams.
Green NEV auto sales trends
crossover hybrid sales trends.
HumanCar models fit into the market
immediately by way of the new NEV
designation.
Bottom Line: Vehicles bypass DOT
regulation, create new markets and may
be operated by most anyone.
Federal DefinitionA “Neighborhood Electric Vehicle” (NEV) is technically defined as a “Low Speed
Vehicle” (LSV) by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA)
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 500. Per FMVSS No. 500, a
LSV means a vehicle:
that is 4-wheeled,
with a top attainable speed in 1 mile of more than 20 mph and not more than
25 mph on a paved level surface, and
with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of less than 2,500 pounds.

NOTES FROM JD POWER:
Hybrid drivers have higher income, much higher than the average car buyer. In 2004, J.D. Power reported that hybrid owner incomes are $100,000 a
year versus $85,000 a year for the average buyer. In a 2007 survey of 118 Prius drivers by Topline Strategy Group, 71 percent of respondents earned
more than $100,000 per year.
Hybrid drivers are a few years older than the average car buyer—closer to fifty rather than the average age of forty. J.D. Power’s 2007 review of auto
industry marketing showed that only 2 percent of hybrid owners are 24 or younger; 26 percent are between 25 and 44; 29 percent are between 45 and
54; and 33 percent are 55 and older.
HumanCar® Models:
FM4 Advanced prototype w/o shell
The HumanCar® model line consists of two main
units, one to the right, the (v1) FM-4 which may
include a shell and small motor. MSRP $5k
The v2 SuperHumanCar® unit below to the right
features dual 20kw motors, safety cage design,
Nav&Com systems. MSRP $15k
Below: (v3)Ethanol fuel drag car (HumanCar®
designed) able for electric adaptation.
MSRP $52k (note - plan based on v1 & v2 models)
RETRO ROAD ROCKET Ultracapacitor & Unlimited
v2 HumanCar®
Competition:
Popular in the UK, manufactured in India the
REVA G-Wiz is not yet available in US. MSRP
$13,600
Zap! Cars, recently funded $79m to go full scale. The ZAP-X is
$54,900, elegant and advanced. Potentially delivering 644 horsepower and speeds up to 155mph. Not yet available.
This vehicle sets a gateway for the performance market of which
HumanCar® will penetrate.
The HumanCar® electric/human hybrid currently has
no direct competition. The symbiotic Prius, ZAP-X,
G-Wiz automobile market tips early adopters and
creates an avenue towards future HumanCar® sales.

movement of the wheel position is less than plus or minus 1/16th
of one inch.
Room shall be provided for a one inch wide flange facing inward
on each wheel rim.
In general, interface to a track width of 1.2 Meters (47.24”) shall
be provided.
Bulkheads shall be constructed with 2.00” diameter locating
holes spaced 24.00 inches apart, twelve inches on either side of
the vehicle centerline, and that four 0.375” diameter holes on a
3.250” bolt circle shall be concentric to the centerlines of the

Safety Footprint:
Do cars and NEV’s mix? It takes fundamental change.
Answer: Car Free Zones. Some notable examples are Charlottesville, Virginia, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Oak Park, Illinois, the
Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California, the Main Street Pedestrian Mall in Buffalo, New York, Ithaca Commons in Ithaca, New York, the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, St. Charles, Missouri, Salem, Massachusetts, Iowa City,
Iowa, Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, Florida, the Fulton Mall in Fresno, California, the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Colorado,
State Street (Madison) in Madison, Wisconsin, Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Grove in Los Angeles, California, Fort Street Mall in Honolulu, Hawaii

Wikipedia: Car-free zones (also known as
auto-free zones and pedestrianised
zones) are areas of a city or town in which
automobile traffic is prohibited. They are
instituted by communities who feel that it
is desirable to have areas not dominated
by the automobile.
Bottom Line: MIT just released a global energy/CO2 prediction - they
say that "only if fundamental changes are incorporated will the tide turn"
Green City planning with car free zones will enable alternative or ‘sustainable transportation’ business model to evolve.
