GEM is celebrating 10 years of manufacturing neighborhood electric vehicles this year. With all the green focus at LA Auto Show, GEM's long time position as a green transportation option is more relevant than ever!

GEM's established technology, reliability and unique good looks have led to steady growth and avid customers -- over 35,000 GEMs have been manufactured and distributed to date, 14,000 in California alone. As automakers, including GEM's parent company, Chrysler, are increasingly focused on electric cars, GEM continues to fulfill a vital niche.

GEM will be sharing a booth with Chrysler at the LA Auto Show beginning November 14.
