Global Electric Motorcars, a Chrysler company, has been
in operation for ten years. Located in Fargo, North
Dakota, Global Electric Motorcars manufactured its first
vehicle in April 1998, a 48-volt GEM car that
accommodated two passengers and had a top speed of
20 mph. Less than two months later, a significant
breakthrough occurred in the market as the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
designated a new class of motor vehicle, the low-speed
vehicle, also known as the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
(NEV). The low-speed vehicle class allowed GEM cars to
be driven on public roads if they met certain safety criteria
such as having safety belts, headlamps, windshield
wipers, and safety glass. GEM cars always come
equipped with these safety features making them a
benchmark in the industry. GEM battery-electric vehicles
not only represent a relatively new vehicle in an emerging
market segment, but also a new and growing brand within
the Chrysler family. Just like Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep®,
or many of the other well-established brands in the
company's portfolio, GEM stands for innovation and
leadership.

GEM battery-electric vehicles are classified as low-speed vehicles, or neighborhood electric vehicles, and are street legal in nearly all 50 states on public
roads posted at 35 mph or less. With a top speed of 25 mph, GEM cars have a range of up to 30 miles on a charge¹ and are great for traveling around
neighborhoods, city centers or job sites. GEM vehicles are battery-electric, operate on a 72-volt battery system and plug into a standard 110-volt outlet.
What makes GEM vehicles so unique is that they can be recharged anytime, anywhere a 110-volt outlet is available and recharge in approximately six to
eight hours². GEM cars are available in a choice of six models: the GEM e2 two-passenger, the GEM e4 four-passenger, the GEM e6 six-passenger, the
GEM eS two-passenger with a short-back bed, the GEM eL two-passenger with a long-back bed, and the GEM eL XD two-passenger extra duty with a
long-back bed. Each GEM model meets and exceeds all federal safety regulations for low-speed vehicles and are thoroughly tested at the Chrysler
Automotive Proving Grounds for quality and endurance. GEM cars are perfect for short trips to the dock, golf course or club, for transporting equipment in
warehouses, or even making daily trips to the market, school or office. Today, many drivers choose GEM battery-electric vehicles to help improve the
environment. GEM cars produce no tailpipe emissions making them an excellent transportation solution! [Via Gemcar.com]
