The Advance Vehicle Research Center (AVRC) of Danville, NC will be the importer and sales agent for a NEV produced by Korea-based AD Motors. The NEV is called the “Change” in Korea and has a top speed of 45 mph and a range of 70 miles. The US version will have be restricted to a 25 mph top speed. A 9 kw lithium-ion battery pack powers the vehicle. Other features include a steel-cage passenger compartment, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, air conditioning, heated seats, power windows, AM/FM stereo with MP3, CD player and USB connection. The vehicle is expected to be available before the end of the year.
Comment: The vehicle continues the trend of NEVs with a more car-like design as opposed to a more golf-car design. Learn more: GoDanRiver.com
Update: I contacted AVRC and the CEO Dick Dell said the vehicle’s MSRP is $24,450 and that is fully loaded with air conditioning, power windows, heated seats, a stereo system and a lithium-ion battery pack.
