Urban Electric Vehicles
Urban electric vehicles (UEVs) are regular passenger vehicles with top speeds of
about 60 mph and a per-charge range of about 50 miles. Unique benefits of UEVs
include easier parking and driving characteristics. UEVs usually have two doors
and a hatchback, and are designed to carry two or four passengers. Click here for more information
