А вот в интернете и \"Еlectromobile\" есть. И много.

Без пол-литра не разобраться. А как быть непьющим?

Нашла Golf vehicle (без электро - ), но это, скорее всего, обычный \"Гольф\". А не для гольфа.

А Вы уверены, что для гольфа?
Может и вправду речь идет о \"Гольфе\"?

golf cart


Explanation:
or electric golf cart

Widely used at golf courses and also vacation resorts that have golf courses - and not only for golf! Handy to get around in. That's what they're called. And if you don't mention "electric", people still assume they are.

  -> No! Two different things. A caddy is a person who hauls your bag and clubs around. A buggy is a vehicle.
