The GEM E825, produced from 2002 to 2004, was a compact electric car designed and manufactured by Global Electric Motorcars (GEM). This low-speed vehicle (LSV) was primarily targeted towards urban environments, offering a practical and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. The E825's design focused on simplicity and efficiency, employing a lightweight aluminum frame and a compact electric motor. This approach allowed for a comfortable and agile driving experience within city limits, making it suitable for short-distance commutes, campus transportation, and neighborhood errands. The E825 featured a single-seat design, with an optional passenger seat, providing ample space for the driver and a limited amount of cargo storage. The E825's defining feature was its electric powertrain, powered by a 48-volt lead-acid battery pack. This system provided a range of approximately 25 miles on a single charge, with a top speed limited to 25 mph. The E825's electric motor delivered smooth and quiet acceleration, requiring minimal maintenance due to the absence of complex engine components. The regenerative braking system further enhanced its efficiency by recovering energy during deceleration, extending the vehicle's range and reducing reliance on battery power. Though the E825 was a relatively simple vehicle, it offered a unique blend of affordability, environmental friendliness, and practicality, making it a popular choice for individuals and businesses seeking a lightweight and sustainable transportation option in urban areas.
