Rides for Retirees: New Class of Car Identified as LSVs Slashes Transportation Cost for Seniors

Posted on by

Augusta, GA (PRWEB) June 28, 2013

Theres no free of charge ride, even soon after retirement.

&#13

According to the Federal Highway Administration, transportation is the second biggest expense for most households, coming in at about 25 %. Even though this is usually reduce for retirees, transportation nevertheless takes a huge bite out of their spending budget.

&#13

But Mary A. Sicard, advertising manager at Club Auto, shares some price-cutting info.

&#13

A new class of street-legal, zero-emissions automobiles recognized as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) or Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) can reduce that down to size, Sicard says.

&#13

This consists of the Club Car Villager LSV. These entertaining, sporty vehicles are helping seniors around the nation steer clear of sticker shock at the dealer, drive proper by gas stations, and slash insurance and maintenance costs.

&#13

Go Green and Save Green

&#13

The price savings are important. In the United States, Villager LSVs cost about half as considerably to operate as gas-powered automobiles. And they can be charged through a normal 110-volt outlet, so customers dont have to spend $ 300 – $ 1,500 to install a 220-volt outlet as they would to juice an electric vehicle. A six-hour charge takes the car 30 miles.

&#13

The Villager LSV also shrinks the owners carbon footprint since they are emissions-free. Conventional cars, on the other hand, create about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide for every single gallon of gas burned, for an annual typical of six tons of carbon dioxide per vehicle.

&#13

A lot of retired couples can replace at least one gas-guzzler with a Villager LSV, Sicard says.

&#13

LSVs vs. Golf Vehicle

&#13

Whilst golf cars also make very good neighborhood transportation, LSV are usually a a lot more sensible option simply because they are legal in most states on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or much less. They travel at between 20-25 mph.

&#13

Unlike individual golf cars, or golf vehicles utilized for off-course transportation, LSVs and NEVs are classified as motor cars and regulated by the National Highway Transportation Security Association. They should have car identification numbers and be registered and insured. The Villager LSV is also equipped with windshields, turn signals, head and tail lights, seat belts and other safety gear.

&#13

The Entertaining Element

&#13

Stuffy gas guzzlers isolate men and women from 1 another and the excellent outdoors. Villager LSVs, on the other hand, are open to sights, scents and sounds. Obtainable in two and 4-passenger models, these little, nimble cars foster social interaction and integrate shopping and dining into the fabric of your life. And theyre silent. No revving engines or backfiring.

&#13

Residents of retirement, gated, urban and rural communities are using these automobiles for neighborhood transportation, purchasing, operating errands, going out to dinner, taking the grandkids to college, zipping to the gym or just cruising.

&#13

Obviously, you cant drive a Villager LSV down I-95 or on a cross-nation road trip, but you can use it for hundreds of short trips each and every year. And, with far more than 75 percent of all American vehicle trips coming in at 10 miles or much less, these jaunts add up speedily, Sicard says.
