GEM (Global Electric Motorcars) Low-Speed Vehicle manufactured in Anaheim California, has evolved through several generations of consumer demands to result in a refined and trusted EV for many applications. GEM is a sustainable EV that doesn’t sacrifice quality, payload capacity, or the ability to seat up to six people. Although the current GEM looks a little different than the original, the DNA remains the same: a forward-thinking vehicle with safety, sustainability and exceptional design at its core. The new 2024 GEM lineup redefines the LSV category with more than 30 automotive-like electric vehicle refinements, increased charging flexibility, new Li-ion options, new solar panels, a refined vehicle design, and more style options to elevate the vehicle’s functionality and appearance.

(GEM) Global Electric Motorcars
In January 2022, GEM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waev Inc.
Global Electric Motorcars is an American automotive manufacturer specializing in neighborhood electric vehicles since 1998 and low-speed vehicles since 2001. By October 2015 the company had sold over 50,000 GEM Battery electric vehicles worldwide. Originally owned by Chrysler, GEM was acquired by Polaris Inc. in 2011.
Polaris Unveiled the All-New GEM in 2016. True to GEM’s all-electric LSV heritage, the all-new GEM was Polaris-engineered for a premium ride. Its new look features a more spacious interior with the same compact footprint and an updated, distinctive design.
Polaris Industries Acquires GEM in 2011, marking a pivotal point in its history. Polaris would use GEM as one of the centerpieces in its work & transportation division, combining Polaris’ strength in product innovation with the market-leading LSV brand.
GEM would benefit from the new NHTSA motor vehicle class designation of low-speed vehicles (LSV) which allowed GEMs to be driven on roads with up to 35 mph (50 km/h) posted speed limits.
First 48-Volt GEM Vehicle Manufactured in 1998. Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) produces the first US-manufactured NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle). Engineered for both street and turf use, the original GEM vision was to fill a space in the market between a golf cart and a full-size automobile. Global Electric Motorcars was founded by a group of former General Motors engineers who saw a need for a new kind of vehicle for the modern world.
