Golf cart sales surge as US families find unlikely alternative to second cars

Golf carts are becoming the second car of choice for families across the US, with the market anticipated to surge to more than $2 billion (£1.57 billion) within the next few years.

In retirement villages, residential communities, university campuses and small towns, it is becoming commonplace to see people driving themselves around in golf carts.

They’ve become so popular that Babcock Ranch in Florida, America’s first completely solar-powered town, has even enshrined golf carts into its design: Some of the houses have a second smaller garage, designed to fit a golf cart.
