Why Buy E-Z-GO Lithium?

Lithium has quickly become the standard in the golf industry, but not every system has the same history behind it.

E-Z-GO’s ELiTE lithium platform has been in the field since 2017, powered by Samsung SDI - a battery manufacturer with lithium experience dating back to 1998.

Today, there are over 200,000 ELiTE lithium vehicles in operation across 3,700+ courses in 70+ countries, with more than 180 million hours of runtime logged. That level of use gives a solid reference point for how the system performs over time.

Manufacturer	Lithium Experience	Battery Supplier	Supplier Lithium Experience	Fleet Vehicles Operating
E-Z-GO	2017	Samsung SDI	1998	200,000+
Club Car	2019	Briggs & Stratton (3rd Supplier)	2019	75,000+
Yamaha	2022	RoyPow	2022	9,000+

Fully Integrated Powertrain

ELiTE lithium is built as a complete system. The battery, controller, charger, motor, and braking system are all designed to work together, rather than being sourced separately.

That integration helps:

• Keep power delivery consistent

• Reduce electrical strain between components

• Limit unexpected issues across the system

Purpose-Built Battery Management System (BMS)

The battery management system is a key part of how lithium performs long-term.

On ELiTE vehicles, the BMS is designed specifically for the platform and continuously monitors:

• Temperature

• Voltage

• Overall battery health

It adjusts in real time to help maintain performance and manage operating conditions, while also supporting diagnostics and service.

Experience Shows Up Over Time

There’s a difference in how long manufacturers have been working with lithium:

• E-Z-GO: in market since 2017, same battery partner throughout

• Others: entered between 2019-2022, with some supplier changes

More time in the field with the same setup generally leads to a more consistent product.

Backed by Warranty

ELiTE lithium vehicles are supported by a long-term warranty that reflects how established the platform is.

E-Z-GO’s ELiTE lithium vehicles are engineered as a complete system, not just a battery upgrade. With an integrated design, long-term supplier consistency, and a large number of units already in operation, the platform is built around durability, reliability, and consistent performance over time.
