New Mexico House Bill 294, if passed, will create a new category of electric vehicles in the state: Medium Speed EVs. Unlike current federal limits of 25 mph for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles like the GEM, cars like the ZENN, which are approved in France and the UK for higher speeds, would see their top speed raised to 35 mph. The state would join several others, including pace-setter Montana, along with Washington State, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Tennessee in allowing higher speeds for NEV-class vehicles.
