Many people in wheelchairs face a big challenge when it comes to transportation. Traditional vehicles require expensive, time-consuming modifications, and finding affordable, accessible transportation options can be difficult. But now, Plucky West Virginian EV company ZEV has announced what it claims is a radically more affordable ride-in vehicle for wheelchair users than anything else on the market. The US$9,900 ZEV 511 electric ride with wheelchair access is a fully enclosed urban getabout with a practical range of up to 55 miles on a single charge. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what makes this vehicle unique and why it could significantly impact the market.


Firstly, let’s talk about the vehicle’s design and features. The ZEV 511 is a four-wheeled, enclosed vehicle designed to work with individuals who use wheelchairs. It has a maximum speed of 31mph and can seat one wheelchair user within the cabin. The vehicle’s fully enclosed design protects it from the elements, making it a practical option for urban commuting. Upon entering through the automatic rear ramp entry, the rider can wheel directly up to the steering wheel.

As mentioned, the rear entry is automated and is separated into two segments, with the bottom segment being the ramp.

Plus, the ZEV 511 can be charged using a standard 110V household outlet, making it convenient for everyday use. Not only is this vehicle affordable, but it is also designed with the practical needs of wheelchair users in mind.


Another exciting aspect of the ZEV 511 is its practical range. Many EVs on the market today have a range that may not be sufficient for daily use. However, the ZEV 511 can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge, making it a practical option for many wheelchair users. For shorter commutes, the vehicle could even last several days without recharging. The ZEV 511’s long range is made possible by its compact size and lightweight design, which help conserve energy.


In addition to being practical and affordable, the ZEV 511 is also environmentally friendly. It produces no emissions and uses a fraction of the energy that traditional gas-powered vehicles do. By choosing an EV like the ZEV 511, wheelchair users can reduce their carbon footprint and help create a more sustainable future.


The ZEV 511 is an innovative new product that has the potential to revolutionize the market for accessible vehicles. The vehicle is available for pre-order for a starting price of $9,900. By providing an affordable and practical option for wheelchair users, ZEV is helping to break down barriers and make transportation more accessible. As more people become aware of the benefits of EVs like the ZEV 511, we may see a shift from gas-powered vehicles to more efficient, sustainable alternatives.

By offering an affordable, fully-enclosed EV ride-in vehicle for wheelchair users, ZEV is helping to make transportation more practical and accessible for everyone. With its useful range, compact size, and environmentally friendly design, the ZEV 511 is a vehicle that has the potential to make a difference. As we search for more sustainable ways of getting around, the ZEV 511 provides an innovative, practical, and affordable, innovative solution. I’m excited to see what other innovative EV designs will come from companies like ZEV in the future.
