Three electric vehicles have been approved for purchase by City Council at a cost of $57,403.
City officials reported the low speed vehicles will be used downtown during the streetscape construction. The vehicles have nine-seats, three rows of three bench seats.
The batteries provide a 50-60 miles range after one full charge.
Greenville began using the same vehicle in May as a Hop-In ride service to transport passengers free on a first-come, first-serve basis, from one end of downtown to the other.
