In more and more communities, resorts and small cities, electric golf carts are gradually becoming a new choice for green travel. They are quiet, energy-saving and easy to drive, and are favored by property, tourism and park operators. So, can these electric golf carts be driven on public roads? The answer is: in Europe, some golf carts can be legally driven on the road, but only if they have passed EEC certification.
This article will take you to understand what EEC certification is, what conditions need to be met for golf carts to be on the road, and which Tara models are legally qualified to be on the road.
What Is EEC Certification?
EEC (European Economic Community) certification, also known as EU vehicle certification, is a unified technical regulation set for motor vehicles in the European market.
Passing EEC certification means that the vehicle meets EU road use standards in terms of structure, safety, environmental protection, etc., and can be legally driven on the road in many EU countries, and is also used as one of the import standards in many other countries.
What features must an electric golf cart include to meet EEC certification requirements?
- Equipped with complete road equipment such as brake lights, turn signals, and rearview mirrors
- Seat belts and seat fixings meet standards
- Speed limit within a reasonable range (such as <=45km/h)
- Safety performance, electromagnetic compatibility, vehicle noise control and other items meet standards
Where Can Street-Legal Golf Carts Be Used?
Electric golf carts that are qualified for the road are widely used in:
- Daily transportation in high-end communities
- Passenger transfers in resorts and hotel areas
- Internal commuting in government parks or industrial parks
- Use in scenic spots and electric sightseeing
- Short-distance patrols and sanitation operations in towns
For units that want to use one car for multiple purposes, having an EEC-certified golf cart is an ideal solution to save costs and improve efficiency.
