Yamaha Battery Carts
Why can't Yamaha make a good battery cart? I asked the salesman about their carts and he said that Yamaha doesn't make a good battery cart for distance. Why? Other cart brands get + 50 mile run time.

50 hour run time? I get a 50+ mile range with my EZgo but that's around four hours of run time.

More like 50 miles, but who would want to drive 50 miles in a gas or electric cart?

I assume you are referring to their lithium-ion carts. If so, they do come with a relatively small lithium-ion battery when compared to some other brands. One possible reason is they are primarily marketed to golf courses where you only need enough range for 2 rounds of golf before recharging.

Perhaps they are being smart and are letting their competitors hang themselves chasing the electric market and competing amongst themselves while they continue to crank out the best gas carts available?

You would think Yamaha would offer a 160/210ah battery in their PTV versions. It would probably be extremely profitable like EZGO Elite models.

Take a look at the Evolution, priced way better with great standard features

I agree, let the EV gang hang themselves. I wouldn’t own one nor an EV car. Too expensive, too expensive for the long run (how much to replace the lithium battery in 8 years?), and mileage isn’t all that great in the winter months. I picked up an electric loaner while I needed an oil change, and belt replacement and the charge dial went down over 1/2 just going 16 miles. Newer cart, battery was 3/4 full, and I was worried I wouldn’t make it back to the shop.

They are not. Maybe closed-minded people who don't recognize technology advancements think gas-power is the only transportation option for life.

Resorting to ad hominem usually means your logical argument is weak.

I agree with the OP....if you can buy an EV that goes 250 miles and lasts for hundreds of thousands of miles for $35-40K, why does it cost $20K for an electric golf car? And why doesn't Yamaha make it? Joe |
