Kandi has become fairly well known in the US for its electric golf carts and work-focused UTVs, but the company has teamed up with Lowe\u2019s and the NFL on something more playful: the Kandi 4P electric golf cart. Sold through Lowe\u2019s with official NFL team liveries, this four-seat neighborhood cruiser is aimed less at the fairway and more at cul-de-sacs, grocery runs, and game-day tailgates. I spent time with a Miami Dolphins\u2013themed 4P in South Florida to see what it can really do.<\/p>\n

Specs, power, and hardware<\/p>\n

Despite the \u201cgolf cart\u201d label, the Kandi 4P is built more like a small road-going NEV. Power comes from a 5 kW motor and a big 48V 150 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery (around 7.2 kWh), giving it plenty of grunt for neighborhood speeds of around 20 mph and a lot more range than you\u2019d expect from something this size. In practical terms, it just sips energy; I did multiple days of errands and joyrides before even thinking about plugging it in.<\/p>\n

Charging is refreshingly straightforward. The cart uses a J1772 inlet, so you can plug into a normal 120V wall outlet with the included cord or use a typical home EV charger if you already have one. It\u2019s overkill for a golf cart, but in a good way.<\/p>\n

Underneath, you\u2019ll find single wishbone suspension in the front, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. There\u2019s even a 2-inch receiver tow-hitch rated for 500 pounds of trailer weight and a mounting spot up front if you really want to bolt on a winch.<\/p>\n

Features and practicality<\/p>\n

Inside, the Kandi 4P feels more like a small EV than a basic cart. There\u2019s a very large touchscreen display with multiple info pages for speed, battery, and system status (and also displays the backup camera). An NFC fob handles \u201ckey\u201d duties, and you get proper controls for forward, neutral, and reverse, plus hazards, lighting, and a tilt-adjustable steering column with stalk-mounted turn signals and horn.<\/p>\n

The seats are nicely upholstered and genuinely comfortable, with DOT seat belts front and rear, cup holders everywhere, grab bars for passengers, and a built-in Bluetooth speaker for rolling playlists or tailgate anthems. A flip-up windshield can be cracked for a bit of breeze or propped fully open on gas struts, and the hard roof extends enough to keep you fairly dry in the rain. I should know \u2013 I had it out driving in multiple rain storms!<\/p>\n

Storage is better than you\u2019d expect: a small glove box, a rear trunk, and even a front \u201cfrunk.\u201d Between those and the flat floor, we were able to pull off a full grocery run \u2013 though we probably should have planned our bag strategy a bit better. We ended up buckling a week\u2019s worth of grocery bags into the back seats, but a tub in the back would make a better storage area for those types of large store runs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Is it worth it?<\/p>\n

At $9,999 through Lowe\u2019s<\/a> with whichever NFL team\u2019s colors you prefer, the Kandi 4P isn\u2019t cheap in absolute terms, but it\u2019s very much in the mix for modern, nicely equipped neighborhood carts. High-end golf carts can easily run $14,000\u2013$15,000 these days, and they don\u2019t always bring a 7+ kWh LiFePO4 pack, disc brakes all around, J1772 charging, and all the street-legal bits in one package. Add in official NFL team colors and logos and you\u2019ve basically got a rolling fan-mobile that doubles as a genuine second car replacement for many households.<\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not as safe as a full-size car \u2013 there are no airbags or crumple zones here. But it does have real seat belts and lights, and it encourages a more aware, less \u201cinvincible\u201d mindset behind the wheel. For people living in communities with 25\u201330 mph streets, these kinds of carts make a lot of sense: lower cost to buy, dramatically less energy use, no tailpipe emissions, less wear on roads and tires, and far more smiles per mile.<\/p>\n

Compared to an e-bike, the Kandi 4P wins on weather protection and passenger capacity. Compared to a second car, it wins on cost, efficiency, and fun. And if you\u2019re the type of person who wants to show up to the grocery store or the stadium in a full team-liveried electric cart, this thing absolutely nails the assignment.<\/p>\n
