Does your lifestyle necessitate more tote-ability? While all the GEM zero-emission neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) offer clean, quiet, economical solutions for your daily lifestyle needs, the eL offers hauling capacity via a 1070 lb. payload capacity flatbed. Indeed, it’s the GEM pickup—without the pollution. Need extra-heavy duty? Check out the GEM eL XD for extra duty hauling.
