What is the penalty for failing to meet NEV requirements?

The penalty for failing to meet Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) requirements is the issuance of a notice to comply. This notice serves as an official communication to the vehicle owner, indicating that their NEV does not meet the necessary safety or operational standards defined by local regulations. It gives the owner an opportunity to rectify the issues identified before facing more severe consequences.

Issuing a notice to comply is typically the initial step taken to enforce compliance with vehicle standards, allowing for corrective actions to be made. This approach emphasizes the importance of compliance over punishment, giving vehicle owners a chance to adhere to safety regulations and avoid subsequent penalties that may arise from continued non-compliance.
