The growing interest in electric mobility solutions is expected to propel the growth of the electric golf cart market going forward. Electric mobility solutions refer to transportation options powered primarily by electricity, such as electric cars, scooters, and carts, that aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower overall transportation costs. The rise in electric mobility solutions is driven by declining battery costs, which have made electric vehicles more affordable for both consumers and manufacturers, accelerating adoption across personal and commercial transportation segments. Electric golf carts support affordable electric mobility solutions by providing a low-cost, energy-efficient, and sustainable option for short-distance transportation across various settings. For instance, in October 2024, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA), a Denmark-based European Union agency, around 2.4 million new electric cars were registered across the European Union in 2023, up from approximately 2 million in 2022. Therefore, the growing interest in affordable electric mobility solutions is driving the growth of the electric golf cart market.

Major companies operating in the electric golf cart market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as dynamic wireless charging systems, to boost convenience, enhance user experience, and reduce the need for manual plug-in charging. Dynamic wireless charging refers to systems that allow electric vehicles to charge while parked over a charging pad without the need for physical cables, streamlining the charging process. For instance, in January 2024, WiTricity Corporation, a US-based wireless charging technology company, partnered with ICON EV, a US-based manufacturer of low-speed vehicles and golf carts, and launched the first-ever wirelessly charged electric golf carts. It utilizes WiTricity's patented magnetic resonance technology, which enables efficient dynamic wireless power transfer and is designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. This system allows for automatic charging whenever the golf cart is parked over a ground-based charging pad, eliminating the need for operators to manually plug in the vehicles.
