There was a company that was going to do that about 2013. They did some research but decided against it

The company behind Atomic/Atomic Cool Kartz in China, known as Guangzhou BorCart Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. EDACAR EV), will be subject to significant U.S. duties under the upcoming AD and CVD orders set to take effect on August 7, 2025.

Guangzhou BorCart is classified under the "Companies Eligible for a Separate Rate," with a final dumping margin of 291.04%, and a cash deposit rate of 291.01%

Subsidy Rate: The “All Others” category—covering BorCart—faces a final subsidy rate of 41.14%

Implementation Date: If the International Trade Commission issues an affirmative injury determination by July 31, Customs will begin collecting these duties on August 7, 2025

What This Means for EDACAR (Atomic Cool Kartz)

When BorCart carts are imported, they’ll incur:

~291% in antidumping tariffs

~41% in countervailing (subsidy) tariffs

Total combined duties >330%, dramatically increasing landed costs in the U.S.

And that will also apply to parts for these things...

It’s very important to have the windows tinted in them so none of your friends recognize you driving one.

HAHAHAHA! Yes, I do agree. However, Mrs. EDJ has trouble driving at night in vehicles with tinted windows, so I will have to opt for a bucket hat and very dark sunglasses. Maybe a hoodie.

If you want a golf cart, get a golf cart. If you want a car, get a car.

I've got both. In fact, three cars and a cart. However Mrs. EDJ (AKA SWMBO - sorry RRNJGuy) wants the fun and enjoyment of golf car riding, but is subject to hot flashes, insecurity about structure, etc. that makes a Kool Kart and it's A/C and enclosed cabin attractive.

Sorry the world and its people don't all fit into a nice, clean, little pretty box for you. Are you an actuarial by chance?

I have a friend that has an Atomic cart. He uses it just to go out to dinner, which they do everyday. Keeps his Yamaha cart for golf.
