Talk:Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

message: If recharged from clean energy sources such as solar or wind power, NEVs do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. <-- I hate lines like this.   Does my TV produce greenhouse gas emissions if it uses the wrong electricity?    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:8100:6668:F4EC:E155:7C4E:968 (talk) 07:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Cyclists are not full road users, in the sense that they're usually required to share a lane.  Four-wheeled vehicles are not conducive to lane sharing.  In short it's a lot easier for faster traffic to get around a cyclist than it is for it to get around a NEV. 64.81.163.112 (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Quoting, "restricted by law to operation on roads with speed limits not exceeding 35-45 MPH."
What is the meaning of this hyphenated limit?  I can find lots of documentation for 35 (e.g.,  http://www.lincolnev.com/driving.html ), but where did the 45 come from?

replies: text: Presumably different areas have different speed limits.  It would be good to find references for that though. --James (talk) 13:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Under Texas Law, it is 45 mph. See http://www.txdmv.gov/vehicles/drivers/golf_carts.htm, "Registered, titled and insured NEVs may be legally driven at a maximum speed of 35 mph on public roads with a posted speed limit of 45 mph or less, unless a city or county ordinance prohibits their operation."65.68.190.251 (talk) 22:59, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's the limit? 

message: Where are the other unsourced restrictions in the article coming from, concerning speed limits? Please source them. Also, is anyone aware of state-specific requirements concerning these vehicles? MrZaiustalk 02:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Expansion request

message: The US Army press release says these vehicles will be deployed 'Monday'. The press release itself is dated 12Jan09, which is a Monday. Clarification, please? Karanne (talk) 02:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Army use

message: If we are to keep it, we need a better Controversy section of the article.  The current section consists of a single sentence with a pretty nebulous reference.  That sentence is
:"The use of NEV vehicles, and the artificial speed limit placed upon more able electric vehicles, could be considered a deliberate move motivated by large profit-centric corporations that continue to promote the impression that electric vehicles can only be suitable at low speeds, and not in mass production at an unrestricted speed." 
which attempts to reference another Wikipedia article on a documentary film:  Who Killed the Electric Car?.  If the assertion can actually be supported by that film, then the reference ought to be to a specific point in the 92-minute film that will make this claim verifiable and the reference should be fixed according to Wikipedia standards.  In the meantime, it appears to be original research with a non-neutral point of view. N2e (talk) 19:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup - Seems baseless as well as unsourced, given the dramatic difference in the body design of an NEV and of normal American automobiles or old or new all-electric Chevy-branded cars. Struck it for now. MrZaiustalk 22:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Controversy section 

message: Since NEV's only need to be able to reach a speed of 45 km/h, the power rating (HP) of the vehicle can be way lower than what it needs to be with highway-capable vehicles (that need to be able to attain 120 km/h).REVAi, an NEV requiring only 7 HP as opposed to 100 HP found in common highway-capable vehicles Since wind resistance becomes ever greater with higher speeds, power ratings of the engines used in vehicles need to be much larger (non-lineair graph).HP required to attain various speeds, includes table with example speeds and HP This also means that much more energy (fuel) is needed to propel the vehicles, and as vehicles are much more powerful and able to attain larger speeds, the possibility of fatal accidents becomes much greater (so the fact that we allow these powerful vehicles to be build results in more deaths).
Include a section in this article about this.

thread_title: Power rating

message: "The Indian REVA 2 door is commercialized as a NEV in the U.S. and as a quadricycle in Europe."
the car is called REVAi not REVA 2, probably could add a link to the page as well for good measure.
