EV Charging for Golf Courses
In less than 20 years, more than half of all vehicles on the road will be electric. Is your club prepared to attract and serve a growing number of EV-owner members? Find out how to capture the EV ownership market with little to no financial outlay and very little effort on the part of your club’s onsite management team.
Let EV charging fuel your membership.
According to a recent article in Forbes magazine, growth of the electric vehicle market has now entered the fast lane. Global EV sales rose 65% between 2017 and 2018. After holding steady in 2019, the numbers took a brief decline in 2020, due to the coronavirus outbreak, but are expected to continue rising for the foreseeable future.
This dramatic growth is driven by a convergence of factors:
- Improved batteries that increase the range of most EVs
- More competitive pricing, similar to that of combustion engine vehicles
- Greater availability of charging infrastructure
- New markets
- Stricter government regulations on emission levels
EV Use Over the Next 20 Years
- All Global Passenger Vehicles by 2025 10%
- All Global Passenger Vehicles by 2030 28%
- All Global Passenger Vehicles by 2040 More Than Half at 58%
Why EV buyers make highly desirable club members.
Most EV buyers in the U.S. fall into the category of Innovators, as defined by VALS™, a framework that segments consumers by mindset. VALS defines Innovators as “successful, involved, forward-looking consumers who try to understand and make sense of the world's complexities.”
Further, VALS classifies Innovators as highly educated, full-time professionals with higher-than-mean household incomes. In other words, they’re precisely the kind of members most upscale golf courses hope to attract.
Surprisingly, the desire to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is not the Innovator’s primary reason for purchasing an EV. Although concerned about the environment, these early adopters are motivated more by factors involved in their own personal use scenario. This includes the length of their daily commute, the long-term financial value of EV ownership and the ease of charging their vehicles.
More than anything, an Innovator’s EV ownership is fueled by the desire to have a fully charged vehicle every morning, with no need to ever stop at a gas station again. Thankfully, golf courses are in a unique position to provide this game-changing service for their members.

How to attract EV-owner members.
To claim your share of this promising membership market, the most obvious solution would be to install your own EV charging stations. However, this is not as simple as it sounds.
In addition to the financial investment and logistical challenges involved—such as where to locate chargers, what types of chargers to install, and the number of chargers required to effectively serve your members and guests—you will also need to consider:
- The ongoing maintenance and servicing of the chargers
- Billing and communicating with the residents who use them
- Providing regular equipment upgrades as technology advances
- Adding more chargers as your residents’ charging needs increase
For most clubs, this creates additional headaches for an already overburdened management and maintenance team that may lack any significant EV charger expertise. Factor in the substantial financial investment for equipment and technology, plus the costs of maintaining, servicing and upgrading the equipment, and you can see why it makes sense to work with EV charging professionals.
