The connector was chosen by the EU to promote electric mobility and ensure interoperability between different vehicles and charging stations. The Type 2 connector is equipped with seven pin connectors, which are used for communication between the vehicle and charger using the J1772 signaling protocol, and for either single or 3-phase AC power ...
The first electric golf cart was custom-made in 1932, but did not gain widespread acceptance. [3] In the 1930s until the 1950s the most widespread use of golf carts was for those with disabilities who could not walk far.

Lit Motors Inc. is a San Francisco-based startup founded by Daniel K. Kim in 2010. Lit Motors designs conceptual two-wheeled vehicles with a focus on innovative technologies, including the AEV (Auto-balancing Electric Vehicle), often referred to as the "C-1," a fully electric, gyroscopically stabilized vehicle, [1] and the Kubo cargo scooter.
Electric Car Distance Record 1,725 miles (2,776 km) in 24 hours by Bjørn Nyland. [72] Greatest distance by electric vehicle, single charge 999.5 miles (1,608.5 km). [73] Solar-powered EV is fastest EV to go over 1,000 km without stopping to recharge, the Sunswift 7. [74] Electric Motorcycle: 1,070 miles (1,720 km) under 24 hours.
Turbo-electric transmission uses electric generators to convert the mechanical energy of a turbine (steam or gas) into electric energy and electric motors to convert it back into mechanical energy to power the driveshafts. An advantage of turbo-electric transmission is that it allows the combination of high-speed turbines with slow turning ...
Club Car’s first product was a three-wheeled golf carts introduced in 1958. The company has continued making carts since. The company is regarded as an industry leader involved in many innovations, including producing one of the first street-legal golf carts. [7] It enjoyed newfound success with its DS line of golf cart beginning in 1980.
There are two main types of lead–acid batteries: automobile engine starter batteries, and deep-cycle batteries which provide continuous electricity to run electric vehicles like forklifts or golf carts. [35] Deep-cycle batteries are also used as auxiliary batteries in recreational vehicles, but they require different, multi-stage charging.
A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle, fully electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses electrical energy exclusively from an on-board battery pack to power one or more electric traction motors, on which the vehicle solely relies for propulsion.
