What is the maximum speed limit for neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs)?

The maximum speed limit for neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) is set at 25 mph. This regulation allows NEVs to operate safely in residential areas and on streets where the speed limit is 35 mph or less. The designated speed limit aims to enhance safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, while allowing NEVs to function effectively in communities designed for low-speed travel. NEVs are intended for short trips, making a speed limit of 25 mph appropriate for their use in neighborhood settings.

Other options suggest higher speed limits, which would not align with the typical design and intended use of NEVs, as they are not equipped to handle the dynamics and safety requirements of higher-speed travel.
