Polaris GEM® Electric Cars
How many opportunities do you think we miss for reducing our carbon footprint? In the world we live in, so many technologies out there allow us to drive and perform work functions without creating harmful emissions. Polaris offers technology like this in the form of their new GEM electric cars and utility vehicles. You can get around for all those short trips on your electric car or perform the brunt of your work on a zero-emission utility vehicle, and all of these are available at Richmond Equipment! Reduce emissions and cut your operating costs down with these vehicles. You’ll feel good about your eco-friendly choice, and save a lot of money! If you’re interested in either getting one of these cars for personal use or building an all-electric fleet, come into our dealership in Richmond, Texas. We also serve the areas of Houston, Beaumont, Victoria, and San Antonio, Texas.
Passenger Vehicles (LSV)
Consider how much less of a footprint you’d leave if you always used an electric car for driving around town. The Polaris GEM passenger vehicles might not be right for the highway, but those short trips to the store, post office, or friends’ houses add up. You could eliminate a huge chunk of fuel consumption by relying on one of these new models for all those short drives! We’ve got three 2017 models available at Richmond Equipment, and they all have something special to offer. The E2, for example, is a two-seater that’s perfect for everyday use. This low-speed electric vehicle still performs with agility in tight turns and through windy roads. It’s also very comfortable, with 43” of legroom and sliding seats. Although compact, you still get plenty of space inside an E2. If you need to move a few more passengers around, the E4 is a great car for you and your family. With operating costs at 3 tenths of a cent per mile, you can move yourself and three passengers around cheaper than ever before. But the E4 isn’t just smart with electricity, it also uses great technology for better convenience. You can use the RiderX app on a single car or fleet of cars to figure out where you’re able to drive it, so you can navigate easily without having to find areas with limits under 35 mph yourself.
