Perhaps a “rookie question” but why is it so hard to find a late model EV golf cart?
Having purchased a house here, I am looking for a late model electric golf cart with lithium ion batteries and upgraded (comfortable) seats.
I’ve been searching the classified ads here and elsewhere but can’t find anything that seems like it’ll work for me. Is new ($23,000+) the only real option? I’m surprised that there aren’t more used carts for sale. Do most used carts get sold back to the local dealerships? Does anyone know (as a percentage) the proportion of electric vs. gas carts in The Villages? Thanks for any insights. |

I would start at the Villages Golf Car store or the Villages Discount Golf Cart store to see what they have for new and used. If you want something good and with a warranty you should look at the stores. If I was to make a guess I would say 80% gas to 20% electric.

Sale of New Carts? Probably 10:2 Gas Electric Lithium didn't really become practical and available, until the last 3-4 years. 2 years ago, ClubCar didn't even offer Lithium as an available option. Just a guess, but I suspect anyone who needs to sell an Electric Cart, has a list of friends and neighbors who want it. |

Plus, there’s a dearth of used electric golf carts. The cost for new is $23,000 which seems like a lot of money for a cute little cart. Thanks so much for the many helpful responses. I appreciate it very much. |

If you want a golf cart with the best ride and handling (more car like) then find a Yamaha electric, years 2012 and newer. Usually, you can purchase these fairly cheap when the owner is motivated to get rid of cart and they do not want to deal with changing the batteries.
Then have a company like Battery Boys change to a lithium batteries system. Keep in mind, you may on an older cart need to do various upgrades like comfy seats and maybe put on a new set of tires. All and all you will be far less expensive than the $23K you mentioned. |

I've noticed more golf courses switching to lithium golf carts these days, so I expect these will hit the re-conditioned market before long. Several months ago, The Villages Golf Carts were selling refurbished EZ-Go lithium carts.

I have a white 2023 EZGO Lithium battery cart purchased from The Villages Golf Carts at Sumter Landing with all the goodies and upgraded seat that I need to sell. It’s my wife’s cart, we are snow birds and she has used it for about 4 months. If you are interested call me at 419/343-0135. Ken
