Advanced EV uses Toyota-programmed 350-amp AC controllers, bringing automotive-grade technology to golf carts. This provides smoother acceleration, better efficiency, and proven reliability from a major automotive supplier. It's a genuine technical differentiator.

Why does Denago offer aluminum frames at such low prices?

As a 2022 startup, Denago is competing aggressively on value to gain market share. They've made aluminum frames their key differentiator, offering rust-proof construction at prices where competitors use steel. It's an unusual and compelling value proposition.

Which is more reliable long-term?

Denago's aluminum frame won't rust, giving it potential longevity advantages in humid climates. However, Advanced EV has 9+ years of market presence while Denago is only 3 years old. For proven reliability, Advanced EV has more history; for frame durability, Denago has the advantage.

Which has better technology features?

Denago includes more consumer tech: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 10-inch displays, and backup cameras standard. Advanced EV focuses on drivetrain technology with Toyota controllers. Denago wins for infotainment; Advanced EV wins for powertrain engineering.

Does Advanced EV offer any commercial vehicles?
