Companies pitch electric low-speed vehicles as a new U.S. category

Electric low-speed vehicles are positioned as a middle step between golf carts and light-duty cars and trucks in the U.S.

CNBC Markets highlights a growing push by companies to expand consumer interest in electric low-speed vehicles, or LSVs.

LSVs are described as more capable than traditional golf carts but still below typical light-duty cars and trucks sold in the U.S.

The reporting frames LSVs as an attempt to carve out a new segment in the American market between recreational carts and mainstream vehicles.
