Explore the future of eco-friendly cruising with electric golf cars powered by advanced lithium batteries, now available at Brunswick’s Golf Cart Factory.

In the picturesque town of Brunswick, a transportation revolution is underway, led by the Golf Cart Factory and its visionary owner, Erik Sims. Embracing the eco-conscious wave, Golf Cart Factory introduces the Royal-EV brand—an exceptional line of electric golf cars designed not just for the greens but for the open road.

Imagine a leisurely drive to your favorite spot, the community pool, or a charming eatery—all without a single drop of gasoline. This dream has become a reality with the electric luxury golf cars offered at Golf Cart Factory. According to Erik Sims, these Royal-EVs are not just affordable but also purpose-built for the road, boasting a price tag 30% to 40% less than leading brands like Club Car, E-Z-GO, or Yamaha Golf Carts.

The Royal-EVs are more than just golf cars; they are Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs), authorized for street use with a remarkable top speed of 35 mph. Setting them apart are advanced safety features, including grab bars, integrated seatbelts, full front-end and rear-end suspension, and hydraulic disc brakes—a far cry from the traditional golf cars of yesteryear.

Available in four-seat and six-seat models, these DOT-certified Royal-EVs sport a 17-digit VIN and an MSO, crucial for titling. Packed with street-worthy features like blinkers, headlights, brake lights, seatbelts, Bluetooth radio, storage, and, in some models, an integrated cooler, these carts offer an unparalleled driving experience.

The flagship models, Ambassador and Crown, take luxury a step further with rear backup cameras and digital dash displays. Sims draws an exciting parallel, likening the Royal-EVs to driving a Tesla, given their 72-volt lithium batteries and cutting-edge technology.

Looking ahead, Sims envisions a future where LSVs become commonplace, considering their impressive speed and safety features. Not only do these electric cars facilitate local events and expand parking capacity, but they also contribute to noise reduction and pollution prevention. Communities like Peachtree City in Atlanta have already embraced golf cars as a preferred mode of transport.

The Royal-EVs can cover 40-45 miles on a single charge, effortlessly powered by plugging them in. As Sims aptly puts it, “It doesn’t need to be completely depleted before it’s recharged; you can top it off and have 100 percent power all the time.”
