As you may know by now, we sell the Polaris GEM E6, which is a street-legal, electric-powered people mover vehicle. It can transport up to 6 people just like an equivalent internal combustion van or truck. While they can both provide the same function, the GEM E6 is mind bogglingly not the same when you run a comparison. Here's why...
1) The GEM E6's price tag will save your company money.
Polaris GEM E6: $16,780
IC powered van or truck: $23,950
2) The GEM E6 is significantly cleaner for the environment.
The GEM E6's CO2 emissions are less than half of an equivalent IC van or truck. While an internal combustion engine van produces 12,125 lbs of CO2 annually, the GEM E6 produces 5,526 lbs. (This is worth noting, as Earth Day is on April 22.)
3) The GEM E6 not as expensive to run annually
More savings for your company. Annual cost of operation for an IC-powered van or truck is $2,820. The E6? $360
4) The GEM E6 is inexpensive to own
Over a 7-year lifespan, the E6 costs $19,300 vs $43,690 for an equivalent van or truck.
But wait, Let's circle back to #2 for a moment...
...because this cleaner-running claim begs a closer look.
The GEM E6 is an all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle. Now, one common question that comes up, when a claim like this is made around "zero-emissions" vehicles, is this:
“What about the carbon released through burning coal to produce the electricity needed to run the car?”
The amount of coal-generated electricity needed to run a GEM E6 for 12,000 miles in one year produces 5,525 lbs of carbon (which is released into the atmosphere). Compare that to a traditional gas-powered vehicle, which generates about 12,125 lbs of carbon from burning fuel.
As you can see, the GEM E6 lives up to the clean-air claim. And, if you can source the electricity used to power the GEM E6 with renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar, you can have a truly zero-emissions vehicle.
That is pretty amazing, don't you think?
I've got to say that the Polaris GEM E6 is definitely one of those things that's not like the other.
