Wow, that's very promising. I especially like the price!

I love technology, but I do have one question. Most solar vehicles charge best when they are idle.
Most people in the Villages store their golf carts in their garage when not in use.
Isn't this a problem?

Anxiously awaiting the announcement of the Flintstones-style golf cart. 100% powered by human interaction, and totally green, baby!

A little bit green only when you exhale CO2 and water...A gas cart exhaling even more CO2 and water will make plants greener.

I can't believe it's that affordable.

From the press release email I got:

"4-person L7 will follow as well as a cargo version, a complete range of accessories like the Golf Bag rack and more special editions such as the Solar Buggy."

"Alternatively the batteries can be charged directly on a regular power plug or a charge point."

Fat people (will the cops arrest me for saying this) need not apply. This is pretty small cart but fascinating technology.

That is a solution, but if you’re a Villager and will most likely rely on alternative energy. Why bother with solar, just get an electric golf cart.

This won't work well in the summer here, we are constantly looking for shade!

Solar powered golf carts were being made in Atlanta a few years ago and even qualified for the solar tax credit of 30% at the time.

$6250 in U.S. dollars, but probably $12,500 Villages price

6250 base price. Add ons can set it up for your needs. Course add ons up price like any other thing we buy.

My electric cart is in my garage. I have seen plenty of Teslas in garages too.

People want constant improvements and so there is a pipeline of EV improvements coming. I am not aware of a pipeline of ICE improvements, is that a feather in the cap of ICE or an acknowledgment that they have come as far as they can?
