Main Types of Electric Golf Carts

Electric Utility Golf Cart

Design: Compared with ordinary golf carts, electric utility golf carts have expanded their functions. One side or rear of the vehicle is usually equipped with detachable cargo boxes or shelves, which are made of sturdy materials and have a certain load-bearing capacity. Moreover, some golf carts also have dedicated tool storage areas inside the car. They are convenient for carrying and storing various maintenance tools, cleaning supplies, etc.

Performance: Compared with traditional 4 seater or 6 seater golf carts, the suspension of electric utility golf cart has been reinforced to ensure stability during driving. Even when fully loaded with goods, the vehicle can still have a range of about 50 kilometers. In addition, some electric utility golf carts are also equipped with power output interfaces. It can be connected to some small power tools such as hair dryers, fans, etc.

Applicable Scenarios: Electric utility golf carts are mainly used for daily maintenance and management of golf courses. For example, during a golf tournament, vehicles are used to transport goods such as tables, chairs, tents, etc.

Electric Off Road Golf Carts

Design: In order to cope with complex terrain, electric off road golf carts body structure is relatively sturdy and wear-resistant. It is generally using high-strength steel or alloy materials to make the frame. Its tire size is relatively large, with deep patterns and wide tread, which can provide better grip and stability. The golf cart ground clearance is significantly higher than that of a regular ball truck, usually around 15-25 centimeters, and it can easily pass through complex terrains such as potholes and mud. Moreover, the suspension system of the off-road electric golf cart has been specially tuned, with a long travel and strong shock absorption capability.

Performance: The off-road electric golf cart has strong power, high torque output, and can easily climb slopes of 30% -40%. Meanwhile, its speed can also be maintained at 20-30km per hour, with a range of 30-60km.

Application Scenarios: it is mainly suitable for golf courses with complex terrain such as mountainous golf courses.

Intelligent Electric Golf Cart

Design: Intelligent electric golf cart has added a lot of intelligent technology elements to the car. The vehicle is not only equipped with a large touchscreen display, but also with multiple sensors for sensing environmental information around the vehicle. In addition, some golf vehicles also have autonomous driving capabilities, with devices such as LiDAR and cameras installed on the roof to identify roads and obstacles.

Performance: Compared with ordinary golf carts, intelligent electric golf carts have unique advantages in intelligent assisted driving. For example, through sensors and intelligent algorithms, vehicles can achieve automatic following function, automatically following the player to the next hitting position after hitting the ball.

Application Scenario: To provide a new choice for golfers who pursue high-tech experiences. In some high-end golf courses, intelligent golf carts have attracted numerous golfers as a highlight of improving service quality. Meanwhile, for some players with limited mobility, intelligent driving assistance functions can help them move more easily within the course.

Medical Electric Golf Cart

Design: The appearance of medical electric golf carts is generally white and yellow with a "medical rescue" logo. After the space inside the car has been renovated, a stretcher fixing area is set up. The stretcher uses a professional medical foldable stretcher that can safely fix the injured. In addition, the car is also equipped with a medical equipment storage cabinet for placing common medical equipment such as first aid kits, defibrillators, oxygen cylinders, etc.

Performance: Medical electric golf carts have high requirements for power. They are not only equipped with high-power motors, but also have good acceleration performance and can reach a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Because it ensures that it can quickly reach the location in need of rescue in a short time.

Application Scenario: Medical electric golf carts are mainly used for medical emergency work on golf courses. When a player or staff member suddenly falls ill or gets injured on the course, the medical rescue electric golf cart can quickly rush to the scene for emergency treatment and quickly transport the injured to the medical room or nearby hospital on the course. Therefore, the role of this vehicle is very important.

Solar Powered Electric Golf Cart

Design: The solar electric golf cart will be equipped with solar panels on the roof or other suitable locations on the body, which are usually made of lightweight and efficient monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon materials. The layout of the solar panels has been carefully designed to receive maximum sunlight without affecting the overall appearance and driving vision of the vehicle. The car is equipped with a dedicated solar charging management system to control the charging process of the solar panels and ensure stable storage of electrical energy into the vehicle battery.

Performance: Solar panels have the function of storing electrical energy. Although solar energy alone cannot fully drive vehicles for long periods of time, it can serve as an auxiliary charging method, effectively extending the vehicle's range. For example, in clear weather, solar panels can provide an additional 5% -10% of the vehicle's power during driving.

Application Scenario: Suitable for use on golf courses with abundant sunlight and relatively limited charging facilities.

Refrigerated Electric Golf Cart

Design: Refrigerated electric golf carts also belong to modified golf carts. It mainly adds a large capacity refrigerator inside the car, which is usually located in the middle or rear of the vehicle and made of materials with good insulation performance to maintain a low temperature environment inside. In addition, the refrigerator door is designed to be easy to open and close, and some models are also equipped with sealing strips to further enhance the insulation effect. The circuit system has been modified to connect the refrigeration equipment of the refrigerator, which is ensuring its continuous and stable operation during vehicle operation.

Performance: In terms of power, it is the same as that of a typical golf cart. However, due to the application of refrigeration equipment. Therefore, its range will be shorter than that of similar sports cars. Generally, it can travel 30-50 kilometers. In addition, its refrigeration system has a good cooling effect. It can maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator at 0-10 degrees Celsius. which is meeting the needs of refrigerated beverages, fruits and other items.

Application Scenario: Refrigerated golf carts are mainly used for selling cold drinks and food on golf courses. In hot weather, this kind of cart is particularly popular and can effectively meet the cooling needs of players during exercise.

Conclusion

The various types of electric golf carts meet the diverse needs of golf courses and related scenarios. In terms of types, it mainly includes electric utility golf cart, electric off road golf carts, intelligent electric golf carts, solar electric golf carts, medical electric golf carts and refrigerated electric golf carts. In addition, understanding different types of electric golf carts can not only help customers choose more suitable vehicles, but also promote the progress of golf cart sports and the industry.
