A system designed to upgrade the voltage of an electric vehicle, typically a golf cart, to 48 volts using Navitas components. Such a system usually involves replacing existing electrical parts, such as the motor controller, solenoid, and potentially the motor itself, with higher-voltage compatible versions. For instance, a golf cart originally operating at 36 volts can be retrofitted to operate at 48 volts for enhanced performance.
Utilizing this upgrade presents several advantages, including increased speed and torque, improved hill-climbing ability, and potentially extended battery life due to more efficient energy use. Historically, electric vehicles often started with lower voltage systems, and aftermarket solutions have emerged to allow users to enhance vehicle capabilities beyond the original factory specifications. The availability of tested and validated components makes upgrading these vehicles more reliable and consistent.
