Description
The 2018 E-Z-GO TXT ELiTE (4-seater) was a landmark model for E-Z-GO, as it was one of the first mass-produced golf carts to feature factory-integrated Samsung SDI Lithium-Ion technology. In the South African market, these 2018 units are currently highly prized as “pre-owned” or “refurbished” options because the lithium technology has proven to be incredibly durable over time.
## The ELiTE Lithium Advantage
Unlike older carts that were “converted” to lithium, the 2018 ELiTE model was engineered around the battery.
-
Maintenance-Free: No water filling, no terminal cleaning, and no acid corrosion on the frame.
-
Weight Reduction: The lithium battery pack is roughly 130 kg (280 lbs) lighter than a standard lead-acid set. This results in less wear on the tires and suspension and better hill-climbing performance.
-
Efficiency: The 2018 model uses Samsung SDI cells with a high-efficiency AC motor/controller setup, allowing for faster charging and consistent power output regardless of the battery’s charge level.
## Performance & Powertrain
-
Battery: 48V Samsung SDI Lithium pack.
-
Motor: 4.4 HP (3.3 kW) continuous AC motor.
