Advantages Of Electric Golf Carts

Electric golf carts are the low-speed vehicle of choice in Middle Tennessee's friendly, high-accessibility neighborhoods! They're also the perfect way to enhance your recreation while enjoying a fast, fuss-free way to make short work of your short trips. At Mikey's Motors, we love seeing the difference a quality electric golf cart makes for each customer's lifestyle, and we've seen firsthand the advantages they provide compared to other options.

Advantages of Electric Carts Over Gas-Powered Carts

Whether on the golf course or taking your loved ones on a fun, easy-going spin, one thing's for sure: you're looking for a casual experience. That's why our clients prefer electric-powered golf carts over gas alternatives. From a quiet, smoother ride to keeping one more thing off your to-do list (last-second gas runs!), the following are the main advantages of going electric with your next golf cart purchase.

• Power Source

Why worry about rising prices at the pump when you can just plug your golf cart in and forget it? Nothing beats the simplicity and convenience of finishing an enlivening day out in the sun, like knowing all you have to do is come home and plug in your ride, knowing that it's fully charged and ready for your next adventure.

• Acceleration and Performance

Believe it or not, electric golf carts actually boast equivalent performance to their gas-powered counterparts. That may not have been true in the recent past, but now, electric vehicle technologies have made tremendous headway, and those benefits have extended to low-speed vehicles.

Due to its lower weight, an electric golf cart can even outpace a gas model of equivalent build quality in acceleration. Advanced models also use regenerative braking, keeping the battery at a higher charge for longer periods. This is not only a performance bonus but also adds to its already impressive cost advantages (not to mention convenience).

• Maneuverability and Handling

Because electric golf carts idle more evenly, they offer much smoother handling and responsiveness. This makes for a more comfortable ride, as your golf cart responds to the slightest control adjustments. Because they're often lower weight than gas models, they also provide greater maneuverability. 

Low-speed vehicles with greater handling hold up longer and put less wear on the suspension on uneven terrain and with large, unexpected divots. All the more, it's a more comfortable and pleasant ride.

• Maintenance Requirements

Electric motors are much simpler than gas engines, reducing long-term maintenance needs in the biggest possible way! Just as with full-size vehicles, a golf cart's motor is usually the most labor-intensive and expensive part to maintain. 

By sticking with an electric model, you'll cut long-term costs and maintenance needs dramatically. It also opens the doors to greater serviceability, as you're able to bring your golf cart to a wider number of repair shops if the need ever arises.
