Electric vehicles are growing in popularity mostly because they operate solely on rechargeable batteries and do not need liquid or gaseous fossil fuels, which are necessary for traditional vehicles with internal-combustion engines. As consumers around the world begin to adopt electric plug-in vehicles, golf carts were identified for their ability to transport people and cargo short distances efficiently and economically without generating harmful emissions. In addition, these vehicles often perform more smoothly than traditional automobiles do, and they require less maintenance.
For the most part, NEVs and golf carts are driven for only short distances, and regulations in most countries limit them to low speeds. The maximum range and speed of a particular LSV varies and is determined by the number and type of batteries and the size of the electric motor.
One of the drawbacks of plug-in electric vehicles is that they are more expensive than their petroleum-powered counterparts are. The only people who are able to afford them at this time are those who are financially secure and have the luxury of living their conscience. However, LSVs fill the gap by offering the same environmental and operating benefits at a lower price point, which makes them very attractive to anyone who can live with their limited functionality.
Although gasoline-powered golf carts are still available, they have fallen out of favor because they are loud and still contribute to global warming. Golf courses have also stopped using them, noting the noxious, foul-smelling fumes they emit disturb the guests. In fact, the report shows that electric golf carts now account for more than 50 percent of the market, and this ratio is expected to widen each year for the foreseeable future, particularly in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany and Japan.
