Electric golf carts typically have a 36V or 48V electrical drive system and use either four, six, or eight golf cart batteries. They come in various motor sizes, such as 3.0KW to 5,000W, and have different horsepower ratings (e.g., 3.3 hp to 29 hp). Range can vary, with some models offering up to 40 miles on a single charge, and those with lithium-ion batteries potentially exceeding 50 miles.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of common specifications:
-
Motor:
AC electric motors are common, with ratings ranging from 3.0KW to 5,000W.
-
Horsepower:
Electric golf carts typically range from 3.3 hp to 29 hp, with some models having higher peak horsepower.
-
Top Speed:
Speeds vary depending on the model and whether it’s a golf cart or a low-speed vehicle (LSV) (e.g., up to 25 mph for LSVs).
-
Range:
Standard 48V lead-acid carts can travel 25-40 miles per charge, while lithium-ion models may offer over 50 miles.
-
Charging:
Most carts have on-board chargers, and charging time can vary, with some taking 6.5 hours using a 120V outlet.
- Voltage: Electric golf carts commonly have either 36V or 48V electrical systems.
- Battery Types: Common options include lead-acid (AGM) and lithium-ion.
- Battery Capacity: Battery capacity is measured in Amp-hours (Ah), with some models using 150Ah lithium batteries.
- Charger: Many carts have on-board chargers, often 48V and UL/CSA listed.
- Length & Width: Golf cart dimensions vary, with lengths ranging from 92 inches to 146 inches and widths typically around 48-53 inches.
- Ground Clearance: Ground clearance can vary, with some models offering 7 inches or more.
- Weight: Dry weight can range from 1,191 lbs (lithium) to 1,433 lbs (AGM).
- Tires: Common tire sizes are 23 x 10.5-14.
- Wheelbase: Wheelbase lengths vary, with some models having a wheelbase of 68.5 inches.
- Suspension: Many golf carts have independent front suspension and a straight axle at the rear.
- Brakes: Brakes can include hydraulic disc and drum brakes.
- Steering: Some models offer electric power steering (EPS).
- Warranty: Warranty durations vary, with some models offering 36 months for lithium-ion batteries and 12 months for AGM and limited warranties.
