Evolution Electric Vehicles leads the charge in electric golf cart innovation, drawing on nearly two decades of industry expertise. Jonathan Chun, the social media marketing coordinator at Evolution, emphasizes, “Experience is invaluable—it’s earned over time. While newcomers navigate their learning curves, we stand firm on our legacy of success in the industry.”
Striking a balance between quality and affordability, Evolution makes modern, eco-friendly transportation accessible to a broader audience. While many competitors focus on higher-priced models with limited features, Evolution aims to democratize access to quality lithium-battery golf carts by offering industry-leading features at the lowest prices in the market.
Revolutionizing the Golf Cart Industry
Evolution has quickly risen to the top of the electric golf cart industry by consistently embracing innovation and incorporating features typically found in automobiles into golf carts.
Evolution was the first to introduce a touchscreen interface in a golf cart—an innovation that set a new standard in the industry. Evolution also became the first golf cart company to standardize lithium batteries across all models. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, which require regular maintenance and are prone to issues, lithium batteries offer enhanced reliability and longevity with minimal upkeep, all at a lower price.
Arguably, Evolution’s most significant achievement was the introduction of the D5 Series, which has swiftly become the company’s flagship model. Boasting innovative features such as a 9-inch multi-function touchscreen, a sound bar, and a first-ofits-kind adjustable steering column, the D5 redefined consumers’ preconceived notions about golf carts. “Our name, Evolution, embodies the ethos of pushing the boundaries of what a golf cart can be,” notes Chun.
The D5 series revolutionized consumer preferences by offering forward-facing seats, a shift from the traditional flip-flop rear kit seats. For those who prefer the traditional seating configuration, Evolution continues to offer D5 models with this arrangement, providing customers with the options they desire.
Supporting Dealer Success
Primarily operating as a B2B company, Evolution directly engages with dealers, many of whom have achieved remarkable success solely by selling the Evolution brand. These include automotive dealers who sell Evolution golf carts alongside automobiles. Auto dealers can potentially earn more income from selling golf carts than from automobiles due to the higher profit margins associated with golf carts. “Customers often gravitate toward our carts without dealer prompting, drawn by their appealing aesthetics, diverse features, and competitive pricing,” Chun adds.
With expansive warehouse facilities in California, Texas, and Florida, totaling over 550,000 square feet, Evolution ensures ample golf carts and parts inventory and swift lead times, averaging just 3 days. During the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, Evolution had 10,000 carts in inventory while other competitors struggled with supply chain shortages. Dealers within 600 miles of Evolution’s facilities benefit from complimentary shipping on orders of 10 carts or more. Additionally, Evolution offers free technical training at any of its three warehouses, covering airfare and hotel arrangements for up to two guests. For those preferring remote assistance, free technical training and support are available over the phone, accommodating all time zones.
Evolution offers dealers a free, 90-day floor plan through Northpoint, providing them with sufficient time to sell their inventory. On average, Evolution dealers sell their inventory in 30 days or less. Evolution also offers 0% interest for 36-month retail financing through Sheffield Financial, making it easier than ever for consumers to own golf carts.
For prospective dealers, Evolution offers a 30-day demo program, allowing them to display an Evolution golf cart in their shop for 30 days free of charge. Evolution will send a team member to deliver the demo, without any freight charges. After 30 days, the dealer can return the cart at no cost. To further demonstrate its commitment to potential dealers, Evolution will cover airfare and hotel arrangements for up to two guests to visit its warehouses and headquarters, providing them with a firsthand experience of the company’s operations and support capabilities.
Looking Ahead: Expanding and Innovating
Charging head-on into the future, Evolution plans to enhance infrastructure and establish additional dealerships to meet growing consumer demand. Additionally, Evolution aims to expand its product offerings. One highly anticipated release later this year promises to be another game-changer for Evolution, continuing the trend of integrating automotive features into golf carts. While details are still under wraps, we can share that the new product will be an SUV-like golf cart featuring all-wheel drive and a K Club Stereo System, both industry firsts.
Whether through pioneering new product lines or introducing industry-first features, Evolution Electric Vehicles leads the charge in electric golf cart innovation. Guided by a commitment to quality, technological advancement, and robust dealer support, the company remains dedicated to delivering exceptional electric golf carts that continually meet the evolving needs of its customers.
