  The Impact of Trump’s Tariffs on the U.S. Golf Cart Industry By Paul Jensen | Special Report   SANDY, Utah — When former President Donald Trump introduced broad tariffs on imported goods from China and other trading partners, most of the nation’s attention focused on household items, automobiles, and agricultural goods. However, a quieter corner of the American economy — the golf cart industry — has also felt lasting impacts. Rising Import Costs, Shrinking Margins Manufacturers and dealers of electric vehicles (EVs) and golf carts, such as Denago EV, have faced elevated costs on imported batteries, motors, and controller components that make up a large portion of each cart’s total value. Imported parts, especially lithium-ion batteries, have seen tariff-related cost increases of up to 25% since 2018, according to the  U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) . These tariffs were originally intended to incentivize reshoring of key manufacturing processes. Yet for many...

  The Growing Influence of Chinese Golf Carts on the American Market: Challenges and the Case for American-Made Choices   The golf cart industry has evolved dramatically in recent years, expanding beyond traditional golf courses into neighborhoods, resorts, campuses, and utility applications. While this growth has brought innovation and affordability, the surge in  Chinese-made golf carts  and components has introduced significant challenges for U.S. buyers and dealers. The Rise of Chinese Imports and Their Impact In 2024, China supplied  99%  of the $703 million in assembled golf carts imported to the U.S., dramatically eroding market share for domestic manufacturers like Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha (now holding just 37% of the industry). Chinese brands often undercut prices by 30-50%, appealing to budget-conscious buyers with low-cost models. However, this influx has created real problems: Supply Chain Disruptions and Inventory Issues  — A rush of i...

  Club Car vs. EZ-GO: Which Golf Cart Brand Is Right for You?   Club Car and EZ-GO (often stylized as E-Z-GO) are two of the most trusted names in the golf cart industry, both American-made and dominating the market for decades. Club Car, founded in 1958, is often seen as the premium benchmark with superior build quality, while EZ-GO, established in 1954, excels in value, innovation, and affordability. As of 2025, both brands offer electric and gas models with lithium battery options, but differences in frame, performance, features, and price make the choice depend on your needs—whether for golf courses, neighborhoods, or rugged Utah trails. 1. Build Quality and Durability Club Car : Features a lightweight aluminum frame that's rust-resistant—ideal for humid, coastal, or variable climates. This contributes to exceptional longevity (many last 20+ years with maintenance) and better resale value. EZ-GO : Uses a sturdy steel frame for rugged strength, but it's prone to rust in co...
