Tempo Lithium Ion: The Second Generation
How Club Car's new vehicle is changing the game.
Club Car’s new second generation Lithium Ion power-train has started hitting the course. The Tempo Li-Ion vehicle provides best in class range, performance, and safety while delivering a lower total cost of ownership. The new AC Li-Ion battery system ensures golf course operators have confidence in achieving 36+ holes on one charge.
In addition to superior range, the Club Car Tempo Li-Ion battery requires minimal maintenance when compared to flooded lead acid (FLA) batteries. Lithium Ion batteries last longer (Figure 1, below) and can save golf courses up to 50% in electricity costs.
SMART TECHNOLOGY. SUPERIOR RANGE. UNRIVALED SAFETY.
The automotive designed Li-Ion battery system includes an industry-exclusive Vehicle Control Module that allows for remote diagnostics and over-the-air software updates which ensures your fleet is ready for golfers every day. High-performing and packed with the latest technology, Club Car Li-Ion golf carts save time, increase car reliability, and conserve energy to improve the overall performance of operations. When it’s time to power up, the fast charging times and ability to hold a charge across multiple rounds keep Li-Ion powered cars on the course and out of the barn.
