The surprising rise of electric golf carts as ‘second cars’ in the US

"Modern electric golf carts now offer smooth and silent rides with ranges sufficient to cover daily short commutes comfortably. There’s no gasoline engine to require regular maintenance...Many states now have laws allowing golf carts to be driven on public roads with speed limits of up to 35 mph, provided they meet certain safety requirements."

"I'm bullish on #golfcarts because they provide mobility for people who can't easily drive and fit better in cities."
