If you want to see a whole mess of electric vehicles in one place, you have to go no further than your local golf course. For decades electric golf carts have been utilized by courses across the country, and automaker Mercedes-Benz just revealed their concept for the electric golf cart of the future. Cue the dramatic drum roll please.

What makes this concept so cool is that it could hint at things to come from the German automaker for actual production vehicles. Or not. Either way it’s still really cool to look at, with its sleek body, joystick steering wheel, and four wheel-mounted electric motors. It also includes turn signals, air conditioning, and headlights, allowing it to (conceptually speaking) drive on public roads.

While just a concept, Mercedes may want to take a harder look at making it a real production model. Europe’s best-selling electric car right now is the Renault Twizy, a low-speed EV with an open-door design not unlike the Mercedes golf cart. While the Renault is very bare-bones, Mercedes could offer more luxury features, while still keeping the price low enough to make it appealing to city dwellers.

Really though, I just think it looks a helluva lot cooler than the crummy golf carts most courses use. This would be a big upgrade for many golfers, that’s for sure.
