Organizers have announced the dates for the second annual GolfCarting Expo & Dealer Summit, a dedicated annual event focused on showcasing innovative products, services, and companies—while also providing education for golf cart dealers. The three-day event is scheduled for October 1–3, 2026, in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Expo is designed to bring the industry together in one place, including manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and consumers.

- Over 75,000 square feet of exhibit floor showcasing the latest golf cart models, accessories, and technology
- Educational and hands-on technical seminars led by industry experts
- Networking opportunities for dealers, distributors, and manufacturers

Organizers also noted that Charleston was selected again due to its strong tourism infrastructure, East Coast accessibility, and reputation as a destination for trade shows and conventions. Registration details, exhibitor opportunities, and event updates are being published through the event site.
Our takeaway: why this is good news for dealers (and buyers)
A dedicated dealer-focused Expo is a strong sign that the golf cart industry is becoming more professionalized—especially around:
- Dealer training and standardized service workflows
- Faster, more reliable upgrades (battery + charger + monitoring)
- Clearer compatibility and fewer installation surprises
- Better after-sales support expectations
For dealers, events like this tend to accelerate the spread of best practices—meaning better install quality, fewer returns, and smoother customer education. For consumers, it usually means more mature product options and more knowledgeable local service.
BasenGolfBattery perspective: what we’ll focus on in 2026
From our viewpoint, the most valuable conversations at a dealer summit are practical and measurable:
- Reducing install time (clean fitment, simpler wiring, consistent kits)
- Reducing service tickets (clear charging profiles, stable BMS behavior, better diagnostics)
- Improving customer confidence (monitoring, protection features, predictable range)
That’s exactly why our best-selling 48V upgrade kit is built as a “dealer-friendly” package:
USA STOCK · 48V 105Ah Lithium Golf Cart Battery (Includes Charger) — listed with up to 50 miles per charge, 200A BMS protection, real-time mobile app monitoring, and an IP65-rated enclosure, with size/weight provided for fitment planning. If you’re a dealer attending the Expo, these are the kinds of specs that directly translate into fewer post-install issues and clearer customer expectations.
