Tomberlin makes neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV's) which are also known as low speed vehicles (LSV's). They can also be used as golf cars (in The Villages & elsewhere) but must be licensed & insured and not driven on streets with speed limits over 35 mph (although they can cross such streets). They are currently eligible for federal income tax credits ranging from $4235 to $5486 depending upon the model purchased. Although the cost of licensing and insuring them over several years will certainly add up along with the fact that they've only been made since 2007 may increase maintenance costs the tax credit should increase their sales significantly. The tax credit will decrease (eventually disappearing) as greater numbers of NEV's & LSV's are sold.

If you're paying more than $6000 annually in federal income tax (and I would guess that many Villagers are doing so) and are looking up upgrade your golf car vehicle I would think that considering a Tomberlin (2 year warranty) would be a good idea.
