About Electric Cart CompanyElectric Cart Company Experience
The Electric Cart Company is a Father/ Son owned and also Operated Business That Was Established in December 2008.

At Electric Cart Company, we value the opportunity to create a long-term relationship with our customers, and also we do that by making sure to exceed your expectations.
How Long Have You Worked in This Field?
Jon Waldrop started selling a few customized golf carts on the side in early 2008. Once the demand was established, Jon approached his father, Tom Waldrop, as a potential partner to go into business in late 2008 with a focus on "street legal golf carts."
What is Your Professional Background?
Jon Waldrop graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in International Business Economics. He went on to become an outside rep for a high-end window and door company specializing in custom fenestrations. When the economy decided to take a turn for the worst in 2008, the golf cart idea would become more than a hobby! Tom's family moved to the Emerald Coast over thirty years ago to escape the corporate rat race. After several years in the marina and watercraft rental company, Tom saw a chance in a custom home building focused on projects in Sandestin Resort and the 30A corridor. With his exposure to the resort and vacation industry, he quickly recognized the possibilities also. The father-son team created Electric Cart Company in late 2008.
What Drew You to This Field?
The demand for a dealership that offered multiple product lines for every need and price range was missing on the Emerald Coast-- in fact, the entire Panhandle. We quickly discovered that bringing a selection and a low-pressure sales environment together was destined to fill a niche in the regional marketplace. Services offered: Electric Cart Company (ECC) is a full-service state-licensed dealership that offers an extensive selection of new and used cars with financing, extended warranties, and also the area's largest selection of accessories as well as custom wheel/tire settings up. It has a complete service department with certified technicians with pickup-delivery, field service, and also a cart storage program. ECC operates the Emerald Coast's largest "street legal" rental fleet of electric carts for our vacationing visitors.
What Makes Your Business Unique?
Electric Cart Company's unique composition of the highest quality factory-built street-legal vehicles, electric golf carts, and utility vehicles makes the dealership a one-stop destination for someone to find what they are looking for. Electric Cart Company simply does not believe in the "one-car-fits-all" or "one-brand-fits-all" way of thinking. From standard entry-level models to the more expensive and stylish to rugged off-road vehicles, we have it. ECC's business model allows us to act more like a consultant, as opposed to a sales representative, to aid facilitate our customer's needs and wants more effectively. ECC is a state-licensed dealer for 8 different brands: Atlas EV, Club Car, Garia, Evolution, GEM CAR, Star EV, Tomberlin, and also Yamaha
What Do You Love Most About This Business?
We love selling FUN! Most people that come in are not buying a product out of necessity, but rather to add another element of excitement and also enjoyment to their lives through an electric or gas vehicle. Selling FUN combined with providing our customers the largest selection of electric street-legal vehicles in the Southeast USA simply makes the entire experience more pleasurable for the customer and the salesperson! By the way, we sell gas carts, also.
What Does a Typical Workday/week Look Like For You and also Your Business?
With our rental service, Electric Cart Company is a 7-day-a-week challenge. ECC's showroom is open every day but Sunday, with our Service and also Parts Department open Monday through Friday.
We hope everyone will visit our website, www.ElectricCartCompany.com, to see what's new.
Most importantly, Jon and Tom are thankful for the success of this dream. They really value the possibility to serve and to continue to grow with their Panhandle neighbors.

The Street Legal Dealership
