WINK vehicles are the only fully equipped Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs), with optional built-in solar panels. WINKS are street legal and fully US DOT-compliant.
Solar-equipped models charge by sunlight. All four models plug in anywhere to any standard 110 volt outlet. It only costs around one dollar to charge a Wink.
Winks are fairly low maintenance vehicles. As with your car, you need to maintain proper tire pressure, but other things like regular oil changes aren't a factor.
All Winks have Lithium LFP Batteries which requires no maintenance other than charging fully to a green light.

Winks come with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Wink battery cells are top quality.
Our batteries use LiFePO4 cells that are state of the art, and electric car manufacturers such as Tesla and GM are now switching to this type of safer battery chemistry.
Winks include a four-year pro-rated battery limited warranty. Most LSVs come with traditional lead acid batteries with average two-year lifespans, and can cost thousands to replace. We highly recommend avoiding lead acid batteries due to the weight, cost and quick deterioration of the old battery technology.
