Are 48-volt Golf Carts Better Than 36-volt Models?

The Facts 

There is little difference between a 36-volt golf cart and a 48-volt golf cart. Both are excellent choices and offer many advantages to consider when purchasing a golf cart. The decision depends on how you will use the vehicle.

Golf carts powered by 48-volt systems are ideal for hilly terrain where the cart will need additional power. The 48-volt golf cart offers many more advantages in all 2, 4, or 6 passenger models.
36 volt golf carts are more appropriate for use on flat, smooth, dry surfaces, such as driving around your paved golf cart community or leisurely cruising. A 36-volt golf cart is adequate for 2 to 4 passenger use when you are primarily using the cart on flat terrain.

Why 48V and not 72V?

A 48V system offers the best of both worlds: enough voltage to power, but not so much that it will break your pocketbook. A 48V system is a good balance between cost and power.
