Solar carts - you can buy a canopy with photoelectric cells on them, but it is not much more than a trickle charger. Would keep your cart fully charged if you left it in the sun while on vacation.
In Florida that would be cooking your cart !
All the lithium batteries I'm aware of (for golf carts) are Lithium Iron Phosphate LiFePO4 or LFP for short, much safer and forgiving than Lithium ion.
But, also from what I know all LFP are from you know where. Some are assembled in the US, but cells are from you know where.
Same with electric bikes - correct me if I'm wrong; not such an expert those.
I would like to know the brand of golf cart, conversion or OEM or replacement for the OEM batteries, the brand of the batteries ???

EZGO uses NMC (Samsung) battery chemistry.
Club Car uses NCA battery chemistry (I think).
All others I know of use LFP battery chemistry.
All are lithium ion. China made all the LFP batteries since they own the patents...Which have recently expired.
Safest is LFP...then NMC...then NCA. NCA is a fragile lattice structure and LFP is very strong. I have a 150ah LFP (EVE) pack I put together myself. I charge at 0.1C to 3.5V/cell to avoid thermal runaway. I was going to up the voltage a bit but now I am not
