Small! Green! Environmentally friendly! All the key elements that pique people’s interest these days. Well, mine in particular. Ever since I started driving (and fell in love with) a Mini, I’ve come to appreciate the whole “great things come in small packages” thing.
I covet the Smart Car. I want one so bad. And today I added another tiny car to my list of wants – the VerdeGoh electric car! 
It’s run on batteries, completely electric and is perfect for when I just want to make a grocery store run, or just run errands around town. From what I gathered on their FAQ page, the cars come in either a Low or Medium Speed Vehicle (LSV/MSV) range. The medium allows you to travel on roads with speed limits up to 40mph. True, it doesn’t leave a lot of options but it works for my needs.
This is definitely a third car. At this point in time, I can’t afford a third car. But when things get better, and oh, call me crazy – when I get a full time job (!!!) who knows??
Oh did I mention they’re right here in TN? The people who run the company are fast on their way to opening a general store selling green products. You can check them out on their blog here.
It’s encouraging to see that there are local companies making an effort to impart environmentalism on the city’s residents without being overbearing. Now if they can just figure out how to get those cars to come into Nashville so people here will see them for themselves! There’s a certain blogger in these parts that would love to test drive one!
Hello there “Life* a La Mode”,
We happened upon your blog about us recently. Thanks for thinking of VerdeGoh! and your love of the XG-4. We actually have a yellow 4-seater like the one you pictured in stock right now. We’re running a special on our vehicles through the end of June and there are great TAX CREDITS available also for purchasing electric cars/vehicles.
We’d love to see you cruising Nashville in a hip Electric Vehicle. Also, be sure to come out to Westhaven in West Franklin and visit our VerdeGoh! General Store. We have everything from paint to building products to housewares and more. It’s Middle Tennessee’s most comprehensive “green” general store.
If you’re on Facebook, be sure to sign up for our VerdeGoh! group. Just search “VerdeGoh!” and you’ll find us.
Thanks again and we hope to see you or hear from you soon.
Best,
Josh Womack
VerdeGoh!
