Shanghai, China: Club Car, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium golf carts, has officially launched a new lithium golf cart in Asia.

As a new upgrade to the Tempo series, the Tempo Lithium-Ion V not only keeps the outstanding performance of the Tempo model, but also innovates in all aspects of battery technology, comfortability and user experience, aiming to provide safer, smarter and more reliable cart solutions for golf courses.

The ‘V’ in Tempo Lithium-Ion V, represents the Roman numeral 5, marking 5 kWh, finishing 36-plus holes on a single charge.

Powered by a 5.4kWh lithium battery with an advanced Battery Management System and Dynamic Braking Resistor, the Club Car Tempo Lithium-Ion V delivers outstanding performance, enhanced safety, and intelligent technology.

Equipped with a Delta-Q charger, it’s engineered to keep golf club car fleets moving efficiently and reliably.

Tempo Lithium-Ion V has been fully upgraded in safety design, with rigorous testing above industry standards to ensure safety.

•  Battery Management System (BMS)

BMS has multiple built-in safety monitoring and protection mechanisms to track and manage the status of the battery in real time, and quickly respond to abnormal situations such as over-charge and over-heating, thereby effectively extending battery life and reducing safety risks. Equipped with the industry leading Delta-Q charger, it ensures a safer and more efficient charging performance.

•  IP67-Rated Battery Pack

IP67 means that the battery pack is fully dust-proof and can withstand a 30-minute immersion test at a water depth of up to one metre. With high corrosion resistance, the new Tempo Lithium-Ion V offers a high degree of safety and stability even in rainy, humid environments, making it the perfect choice in volatile geographical environments such as coastal golf courses.

•  Dynamic Braking Resistance (DBR)

DBR technology efficiently dissipates braking energy to safeguard the electrical system. It’s designed for precise downhill control.

• More Configurations

The Tempo Lithium-Ion V is also equipped with multiple safety features, including an aviation aluminum A-frame chassis that provides solid support for greater durability; LCD display, real-time display of high-definition meters, providing information including power, current, voltage and error information feedback.

Superior Performance

• Global Test Standards and Automotive Grade Battery Design

The new Tempo Lithium-Ion V features a high performance battery with an automotive-grade design that meets global testing standards. Through rigorous quality control and testing, the new Tempo Lithium-ion V is able to maintain smooth and strong power even on steep slopes or difficult terrain. In addition, Tempo Lithium-Ion V’s battery offers one of the best high-current discharge performance in their class, ensuring stable power output even during high-load operation.

• 10-Year Design Life

Tempo Lithium-Ion V’s battery has been carefully engineered for a 10-year design life. Tempo Lithium-Ion V can also be connected via Bluetooth to mobile applications that allows users to remotely check battery status, health and remaining power for timely charging and maintenance. This intelligent management provides more convenience and flexibility for the operation of golf courses.

When designing the Tempo Lithium-Ion V, Club Car fully considered the cost and durability, and optimised its performance to ensure that golf course managers can enjoy efficient operations while reducing long-term cost.

•  Higher Charging Efficiency and Six-Year Battery Warranty

Tempo Lithium-Ion V can be charged very efficiently so as to save operation cost for golf courses. What’s more, Tempo Lithium-Ion V offers a six-year battery warranty, with a maintenance-free design that effectively reduces a course’s expenses on maintenance and battery replacement.

•  Lighter Cart Body, Reducing Damage to Lawns and Terrain

Compared to traditional electric golf carts, the Tempo Lithium-Ion V features a lighter body design, resulting in a reduced overall vehicle weight and less potential damage to lawn and terrain. The lighter body design also improves the vehicle’s manoeuvrability and handling.
