Street Legal Electric Golf Carts

These days, many people are looking for alternatives to automobiles.  They take up a lot of fuel, plus their emissions damage the environment.  In some areas, public transportation can help alleviate this damage and help save money, but this isn’t always possible.  Riding bikes or walking is an option if your destination is close by, but that’s not always the case.  However, there are some unique new methods of transportation that have appeared, including street legal electric golf carts.

These golf carts simply need to be plugged in like an electric car.  Once they’re charged, you can drive anywhere you want to go.  What’s great is that they’re also street legal, which means you can drive these golf carts anywhere.  You can use them to take your kids to school, drive down to the grocery store, or run any other types of errands with them.  Because they don’t use standard fuel, you won’t spend nearly as much.

There’s another type of electric golf cart that is really useful as well.  These are golf carts with that feature solar roof kits.  These kits will charge up your carts battery while it sits in the sun, so there’s no need to charge up your cart by plugging it in.  While you may not be able to get all of your cart’s power from sunlight, it does help dramatically decrease the amount of energy you need.

There are various different solar powered golf carts that are street legal, although most are only legal on streets that have a speed limit of 35 mph or less.  However, this is acceptable is most residential areas.  While you won’t be able to take your golf cart out on the highways or main streets, you can probably find legal streets that will allow you to get to most locations.

Chevrolet Planning Electric Car For 2010 – Chevy Volt

The same guys who almost brought us the electric car back in 1994 (EV1), are now making a big push to deliver an electric hybrid vehicle with a 40 mile "battery only" range by 2010. The Chevy Volt will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol to recharge the battery while you drive beyond the 40-mile battery range. It is also being designed to be compatible with a standard household plug.

The following is a quote from Tony Posawatz, Vehicle Line Director, E-Flex Systems and The Chevy Volt, General Motors Corp:

“We have devoted significant resources to this project: Over 200 engineers and 50 designers are working on the Volt alone, and another 400 are working on related subsystems and electric components. That's how important we think this is, and that's how much stock we place in the future of extended-range electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt.”
