Club Car is a long-established (established in 1958, one of the first electric golf car companies) golf cart company designing, engineering, and manufacturing quality golf carts.
Club Car is an industry name that is highly respected for their excellence and innovation. They’re the largest manufacturer of small electric vehicles in the world.
Golf cart Club Cars stand for
- Smooth handling
- Supreme performance
- Unsurpassed quality
- Sleek and unique design
- High-tech engineering
- Relationships with loved ones
- Love of golf and enhancing the game
Additionally, Club Car manufactures all of its golf carts with stability, comfort, and of course safety in mind.
Like the mission they aim for—the facilitation of family relationships and togetherness—their golf carts all belong to a general family of golf cars. While Club Car makes gas- and electric vehicles for use by golf courses and utility carts for golf course operation, they also make quality cars for individuals.
The Club Car Family of Golf Carts
Club Car golf carts fit into three groups or series:
- Onward
- Precedent
- Villager 2
All are available either as an electric or gas Club Car golf cart.
Onward

The Onward carts are available in two- or four-passenger models. It operates on the golf course and around your neighborhood community. Go places together as family and friends, and bond over your experiences.
Onward vehicles boast a sound system, premium seats, and more. You can customize these cars to create the style, color, and accessories you desire.

Designed as a stretch personal transportation vehicle (PTV), Precedent golf cars let you ride in maximum comfort. Extra legroom eliminates the cramped feel. Precedent vehicles have four seats; further, all face forward to allow for conversation between friends and family. This is in contrast to most four-passenger golf cars in which the rear seats face toward the back of the cart.
Carts in the precedent group are extremely quiet for a pleasant ride in which you and your cart mates can easily converse. These are zero-emissions vehicles. The only footprint you’ll leave on the golf course is in a sand trap or an occasional divot.
Villager 2

The Villager 2 is the basic model. Don’t let “basic” fool you, however. This Club Car has much to offer, including:
- Many different colors
- Accessory options
- The same rustproof aluminum frame as the other models
- Sports Drive steering and suspension for a smooth ride
- 360-degree wraparound bumpers for style and function
- Reflectors
- Headlights
- Taillights
- Horn
Features
Most golf cars on the market have a steel frame. Because this has proven to be flawed, Club Car designers re-engineered golf cart frames. The company builds all golf cart Club Cars on an aluminum frame. The structure won’t corrode; it’s entirely rust proof. Its lightweight nature enhances performance. Riding in any golf cart by Club Car is smooth and stable.
Details
Details abound with Club Car. They all enhance comfort and utility. Some examples:
Monsoon Top channels water—lots of water, up to 14 inches per hour and three gallons per minute—away from passengers and driver; it’s a standard feature on the Precedent i2 and an option on other models
A spacious bag well so you can access your clubs quickly and easily on the course
Extra storage space inside the cart

Wiring Diagrams
The company’s carts are intricately and technologically engineered. You can appreciate, if not interpret, the scope of this by examining a Club Car golf cart wiring diagram. A wiring diagram illustrates electrical schematics and is an engineering blueprint that tells a detailed story of a cart’s operations.
You can find some examples online at sources like Blockbuster Golf Carts. You can view plans for a few different Club Cars, including some for models from the 1980s and early 1990s.

Golf Cart Battery Charging
Charging a Club Car Golf cart has become much less stressful thanks to a new high-tech charging system. All Club Car batteries are innovative and smart to improve both battery life and your experience with your golf cart.
Cart batteries are finicky. Overcharging them weakens them and shortens their overall life plus the distance you can go and length of time you can spend using them. On the other end of the spectrum, if you discharge them too far (anything less than 20%), you also damage them in the same way.
Monitoring batteries have traditionally been challenging and nerve-wracking. Losing track of time could be an expensive mistake. Appreciating this problem, technicians at Club Car created a charging system that is becoming widely used in other carts.
The charger is human error-proof. The advanced system is called E.R.I.C., an acronym that stands for:
- Efficiency
- Reliability
- Intelligence
- Connectivity
Efficiency
It’s small and lightweight compared to traditional golf cart battery chargers. It costs less to operate than other chargers, too.
Reliability
The charging system works in all conditions, uncompromised by factors such as temperature and daily use and wear.

Intelligence
Incredibly, the E.R.I.C. system uses an algorithm to monitor changes in voltage and adjusts its charging behavior accordingly. As the battery’s voltage increases in charge, the system backs off and eventually shuts off. As the voltage decreases during use or between uses, it kicks in to charge. E.R.I.C. charges the batteries when needed and does nothing if they’re full.
Connectivity
This is the first battery charger to engage in two-way communication. The unit possesses an external USB port. If something should happen to go wrong, a technician can connect a computer to the charger with a USB cord. The smart charger and the computer begin to communicate, and the technician can listen by reading the data on the computer screen.

The Club Car’s incredible charger communicates in a small but vital way as well. It provides audio and visual alerts at crucial points in the charging process. It tells you when:
- Charging begins
- The battery is receiving AC power
- The battery is fully charged
- The battery charge level drops to 20%
- Again when it drops to 10%
- Problems occur, and it needs to talk to a technician
