Yamaha Motor Co has announced that it will launch new five-seater electric golf carts, G30Es and G31EPs, in Japan in June 2025. The company is also planning to introduce both models to the Taiwanese market at a later date. Yamaha has targeted annual sales of 1,600 units of the two electric golfa carts.
The new lineup consists of the electromagnetically guided G30Es and the manually operated G31EPs, both equipped with a newly developed lithium-ion battery and a vehicle control unit.
In addition to the inherent quietness of an electric vehicle, the adoption of a high-performance AC motor with superior speed and torque control provides a more powerful, smooth, and stable ride.
The lithium-ion battery is an in-house Yamaha Motor development, fully designed and manufactured by the company. By using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) materials for its cells, Yamaha states that it has achieved high reliability and an extended lifespan.
Two battery options are available: 4 kWh and 6 kWh, allowing users to choose based on driving range, course characteristics, and play style. The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) optimally manages the Motor Control Unit (MCU) for the drive motor, achieving both high efficiency and high output. The combination of an optimized regenerative braking system and an AC motor reduces power consumption by approximately 30% compared to previous models.
