ICON EV Golf Carts — 2025 Complete Model Guide
ICON EV is the largest of the newer-generation golf cart brands that have disrupted the Big Three's dominance. Based in Texas, ICON offers premium features — lifted options, two-tone paint, lithium standard on most models — at pricing 10–15% below Club Car.
ICON has become the most-debated brand in the r/golfcarts community: believers point to features-per-dollar, skeptics point to newer manufacturer and less certain long-term parts support.
What ICON Does Well
Features per dollar. An ICON i40L with lift, all-terrain tires, two-tone color, and lithium battery comes in at $11,500–$12,500. Building an equivalent Club Car Onward with similar spec hits $18,000+.
Lithium standard (most models). ICON includes lithium standard across their upper-line models. This eliminates the lead acid maintenance conversation from day one.
Lifted options from the factory. ICON's "L" models (i40L, i60L) come lifted from the factory — no aftermarket conversion needed. Saves $400–$1,500 in lift kit costs and maintains the factory warranty structure.
Aesthetics. ICON's raised stance, alloy wheels, and two-tone color options look premium on a showroom floor. They appeal to buyers who want a cart that looks expensive.
