But IMO it is overly complicated in its electric form, with very expensive components. There's really no reason they couldn't have done like a TXT 48 or AC Drive Yamaha. Far less components, less idiot-proofing. It's a Golf Car, not the Apollo Spacecraft!

What concerns me is the RXV has set a Precedent (no pun intended) for more and more complicated carts later on. I have seen the future and as much as I love tech, it's not a bright one. I am unsure how many of you are aware of a guy going by the name of 'Shango066' on Youtube, but I'm starting to become him in re: golf cars. I'm starting to actually prefer the simplicity of resistor cars over the new stuff rolling in.

One thing I suggest though: Get rid of the Powerwise QE/SC-48 it comes with if you want to avoid one of the most common problems of this era of golf cars. It's junk. get a DPI, Eagle Performance, anything American Made.


Very well said! I agree I feel like they tried to do too much with these carts; to the point where you cant even get rid of the reverse buzzer without an OEM handheld and if you you do you will disable the cart. “Keep it simple stupid” is never more true when it comes to golf carts. I don’t know about going as far back as pre solid state set-ups but I def don’t like the direction the newer carts are going. From 36V PDS’s (2000) to right around last year when the precedents were replaced with the Onwards is pretty much the gold standard in cart technology as far as I’m concerned. And yes the Eric style powerwise charging systems as well as club car’s version is starting to become more and more problematic and will lead to expensive repairs and/or replacements so follow his advice and get you an American made charger! That’s my two cents
