In neighborhoods like greater downtown, Midtown, Uptown, Biltmore and others with concentrations of services and employment, Neighborhood Electric Vehicles can be a low cost and effective way to reduce the amount of cars and parking spaces needed.

Many households can get by with only 1 vehicle if there are alternatives that can be used for short distance errands or trips.

Advantages:
* safely travel at surface road speeds
* use electricity that can be created from solar panels
* lower cost of ownership and maintenance than gas/diesel powered cars
* emit no local emissions and are very quiet
* variety of options available to suit passenger or cargo needs
* take significantly less parking surface than typical cars
* can compliment park and rides for those living with them nearby

Global Electric Vehicles is one type of electric car; they can resemble golf carts, but other options resemble traditional cars/trucks.
