SOLAR CHARGING

This vehicle can be charged from a standard 240v/10A household power point as well as Star 8 “charge-as-you-go” rooftop solar, supplying up to 20 kms of range from a full day of sunlight.

If the vehicle’s average daily journey is less than what is generated by solar, the vehicle will rarely require grid charging.

Testimonials

“I drive the Linen Cart most days, It’s pretty cool. It charges by solar so when we are in the cabin cleaning it is charging outside. I have never seen the power go lower than 90%, It is almost always 90% or 100% even on a rainy day. If it does rain you get to put the covers down so you don’t get your hair wet!”

“Once you have this sort of technology, it’s very hard to to back. Initially you’re worried about range – being in the middle of something and needing to charge it, but you can go a full hard day, no trouble at all. The beauty of these is that they are so quiet. Our old petrol gators, they don’t get used nearly as much as the solar carts – That proves the point doesn’t it!”

“I’ll rave about these carts to anyone who uses golf buggies. I have used it everyday while i’m at work and we’ve never charged it in the 6 months we’ve had it for. 100% Solar Powered. People expect electric vehicles to be low power but it has good power.”
