Understanding the Differences: Evolution Golf Carts Plus Models vs. LSV Options

If you're shopping for an Evolution golf cart, you've probably come across terms like "Plus Model" and "LSV" and wondered—what’s the difference? Are they the same thing? Can a golf cart be both? Let’s break down these two popular options and help you figure out which one fits your lifestyle best.


What is the Plus Model?

The Plus Model is all about luxury and entertainment. If you're looking for a golf cart with enhanced features and the latest tech, this is the upgrade you'll want.

Key Features of the Plus Model:

  • Upgraded Touchscreen Display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

  • Under-Seat Illuminated Speakers

  • High-End Sound Bar for premium audio

💡 The Plus Model focuses on comfort and entertainment—not road legality.


What is an LSV?

LSV stands for Low-Speed Vehicle, and it refers to a golf cart that is street legal under federal and state guidelines (always check your local laws!).

Key Features of LSV Models:

  • MSO (Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin)

  • VIN Number

  • License Plate Light & Reflectors

  • DOT-Compliant Foldable Acrylic Windshield

🛣️ LSV carts are often referred to as “road legal golf carts” and can be used on public roads with speed limits up to 35 mph.


Can a Cart Be Both a Plus Model and an LSV?

Yes! Evolution offers models that are both Plus Models and LSVs. That means you don’t have to choose between luxury and street legality—you can have both.

Whether you want just the tech, just the road-legal features, or both, Evolution has an option for you.

What Makes Us Different    rv dealer google reviews

  • Excellent experience at Mastercraft's RV Center! The staff was knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect RV for my family.
  • Well now, aren't we glad we have these guys close by? Everyone here is terrific to deal with, professional, and they perform TOP NOTCH repairs and maintenance for any RV!! THEY also handle our annual inspection to maintain our Forever Warranty, which came with our RV, and they submit all the info for us; we don't have to do a thing! Now mind you, we didn't even buy our RV there; (they didn't have one big enough for our needs at the time.)..but it doesn't stop them from giving us 100% impeccable service. Fair, honest, and timely service-- what more could you ask for?? What a relief!!
  • I am so glad that I have Mastercraft RV Center to take care of my RV whenever an issue arises. Their customer service is always going above and beyond - especially in giving advice. The service pricing is competitive, their detailed approach assures everything i done that is requested, and most importantly everything is above board. Kudos!!!
