E-Z-GO Develops Innovative ELiTE Series Together with Samsung SDI
With its new ELiTE Lithium Series vehicles activated by Samsung SDI, E-Z-GO, a Textron Specialized Vehicles business, has yet again revolutionized the golf cart industry with high-efficiency, zero-maintenance battery power and an unprecedented five-year, unlimited-amp-hour warranty. This series will offer you the lowest operating costs in the industry.
According to Michael R. Parkhurst, Vice President, Golf for Textron Specialized Vehicles:
Cooperating with Samsung SDI, E-Z-GO has made a giant step forward in terms of high-efficiency vehicles and zero-maintenance battery power. ELiTE Series vehicles are the biggest advancement in golf car technology since E-Z-GO introduced the E-Z-GO RXV® golf car.
Well, let’s take a look at the advantages of this new ELiTE Lithium-powered Golf Car in detail:
1. Zero-maintenance and Eco-Friendly Batteries
New ELiTE Series vehicles are powered by hundreds of Samsung SDI lithium cells that are loaded into a single battery pack. Unlike traditional lead acid batteries, the batteries in ELiTE vehicles don’t require watering, terminal post checkups and cleaning. This means less time in the shop for maintenance and repairs, and more play time for the vehicles.
Moreover, with a greener, zero-emissions technology, the lithium battery can protects our earth with less energy consumption and longer lifetime.
2. Mature & Proven Technology
The Samsung SDI lithium batteries applied in ELiTE Series are controlled by an advanced Battery Management System, which monitors efficiency, temperature, state of charge and the health of the batteries. Already widely used into safely and reliably power electric cars, e-scooters, and power tools, these batteries are proven to be high-efficient and reliable.
3. Cost-Saving Efficiency
This new ELiTE Lithium Series is 59% more efficient than the Club Car Precedent and 52% more than the Yamaha Drive AC. The Samsung SDI lithium batteries use less energy and charge in half the time. Reduced charging time allows for short “opportunity charging” between rounds, thus it reduces the energy cost.
4. Unprecedented Five-Year Warranty
E-Z-GO is confident in the reliable, consistent and enduring performance of the ELiTE Series vehicles so that providing every model with a five-year, unlimited-amp-hour warranty. No repair cost for repairs within the warranty for 5 years!
5. Turf Protection
The Samsung SDI lithium batteries are 279lbs lighter than the old lead batteries. Besides, the new batteries are half the size as the old ones. With lighter vehicle weight and more room, the turf can be better protected.
E-Z-GO ELiTE Series vehicles have been already tested at Tijeras Creek Golf Club in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., the award-winning course that is known for its challenging hilly, brutal terrain.
The exclusive ELiTE lithium technology will be offered in the following 2017 models:
RXV® ELiTE, Freedom® RXV ELiTE, Freedom RXV 2+2 ELiTE, TXT® ELiTE, Freedom TXT ELiTE, and Freedom TXT 2+2 ELiTE.
