Featuring Yamaha’s in-house lithium-ion batteries and advanced motor control, the G30Es and G31EPs mark a milestone in Yamaha’s electric mobility.
Celebrating half a century in the golf car industry, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is set to launch two innovative five-seater electric golf cars—the electromagnetically guided G30Es and the manually operated G31EPs. Scheduled for release in Japan in June 2025, these models leverage Yamaha’s newly developed lithium-ion batteries that utilize lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, known for its durability, reliability, extended battery life, and heightened safety standards.
Customers will have the option to choose between two battery configurations—4 kWh and 6 kWh—allowing for customization based on individual driving range requirements and specific course characteristics. The vehicles also feature advanced systems including a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) that optimally manages the Motor Control Unit (MCU) performance, significantly enhancing power output, energy efficiency, and driving comfort.
The electric golf cars include an optimized regenerative braking system, effectively reducing overall energy consumption by approximately 30% compared to previous models. These advancements represent a significant leap in Yamaha’s Low Speed Mobility (LSM) business, positioning the company as an industry innovator poised to lead technological progress for decades to come. Furthermore, Yamaha plans to introduce these vehicles to the Taiwanese market, further solidifying its global presence. n
