When comparing electric golf carts, most buyers focus on features and price. But once the sale is done, the warranty is what determines who pays when something breaks. This article breaks down the warranty coverage offered by Breezy EV and Conquest Carts—what’s included, what’s excluded, and what matters most if something goes wrong.
Warranty Summary
Breezy EV and Conquest Carts both offer 36-month limited warranties on their golf carts, but the terms and conditions differ in important ways. Breezy’s warranty begins on the date the cart is delivered to the dealership and applies to defects in materials and workmanship. The lithium-ion battery is covered for up to 60 months, with full coverage for the first 24 months and prorated coverage thereafter. All warranty work must be performed by an authorized Breezy EV dealer, and coverage is voided if the cart is misused, modified, or serviced by unauthorized personnel. The warranty is non-transferable and does not apply to resale units.
Conquest Carts offers a similar 36-month limited warranty, which also excludes common wear-and-tear items. Its lithium battery is covered for 60 months, though the policy does not specify a proration schedule. All parts must remain original, and the vehicle must be used and maintained as outlined in the owner’s manual. Claims are processed through the original selling dealer, and the warranty becomes void if the user disassembles components, skips scheduled maintenance, or operates the vehicle outside of its intended conditions. Like Breezy, Conquest does not allow warranty transfer between owners.
Covered Components
Both manufacturers provide coverage for the major systems of the vehicle, but the specific components and terms vary by brand.
Breezy EV covers the vehicle frame and chassis for three years, so long as the damage results from a manufacturing defect. Structural issues caused by overloading or off-road use are excluded. The onboard charger, motor controller, and electrical wiring are covered for 24 months, but coverage is void if the system is modified or damaged by water. Suspension and steering components, including the shocks and steering rack, are covered for 12 months. Brake components such as calipers and the master cylinder are covered for one year, but brake pads, rotors, and bushings are excluded. Cosmetic components like lights and audio systems are covered for 12 months, with no protection against fading, scratching, or environmental exposure. The lithium battery is covered for 60 months, prorated after the first two years.
Conquest Carts also includes a 36-month warranty on the frame and major structural parts. The lithium battery is covered for 60 months, although the company does not specify if this is prorated. The onboard charger is protected under the general warranty, and all charging systems must be used exactly as provided to maintain coverage. The electronic controller and motor are covered as long as no unauthorized changes have been made. Suspension and brake systems are included under the 36-month term, with standard wear components like pads and bulbs explicitly excluded. Conquest also includes coverage for dashboard electronics and lights within the general warranty, though bulbs and fuses are not covered.
Exclusions and Limitations
While both Breezy EV and Conquest Carts advertise comprehensive warranties, the exclusions listed in their documentation significantly limit coverage in real-world scenarios.
Wear-and-tear items are excluded by both brands. These include brake pads, tires, bushings, bulbs, and fuses—even if these components fail early in the vehicle’s life. Neither company will cover premature wear unless it’s directly linked to a verifiable manufacturing defect, which must be diagnosed by an authorized dealer.
Both brands also exclude coverage for damage caused by improper use. That includes overloading the cart, towing other vehicles, using the cart on rough terrain, or operating it commercially. Driving behavior outside the recommended usage range is considered misuse and will void the warranty. Breezy further specifies that even improper towing or sharp driving maneuvers can trigger exclusions.
Unauthorized modifications are another common reason for denial. Breezy EV explicitly voids electrical coverage if aftermarket lights, sound systems, or accessories are wired into the system without approval. Conquest Carts applies the same rule, stating that user disassembly or alterations automatically void affected components’ coverage.
Environmental exposure is a major limitation. Breezy does not cover any corrosion, oxidation, or electrical failures resulting from water intrusion. Conquest’s manual also denies coverage for water-related damage and warns users not to operate or store the vehicle in exposed or harsh environments.
Finally, both brands tie battery coverage to proper maintenance. Skipping regular charging, using the wrong charger, or allowing the battery to fully discharge during storage can void warranty coverage. These conditions are clearly laid out in the owner’s manuals and are enforced during the claim process.
Battery Warranty Conditions
The lithium battery is one of the most expensive and failure-sensitive components in any electric golf cart. Both Breezy EV and Conquest Carts offer 60 months of warranty coverage on their lithium battery packs, but the conditions and expectations placed on the owner are different—and important to understand.
Breezy EV offers full coverage on the lithium battery for the first 24 months, after which the warranty becomes prorated through month 60. This means the customer is responsible for a growing percentage of the replacement cost as time goes on. The warranty is only valid if the battery is maintained in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Although Breezy’s limited warranty does not spell out those instructions in detail, its owner’s manual makes it clear that users must charge the battery using the factory-supplied charger, avoid deep discharges, and store the vehicle in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Specifically, the manual recommends fully recharging the battery every 1 to 3 months when the vehicle is not in use, and never leaving the charger connected to a damaged battery or operating it in direct sunlight. If the battery fails due to improper storage, over-discharge, or the use of aftermarket charging equipment, the warranty will be void.
Conquest Carts also provides a 60-month warranty on the lithium battery, though the documentation does not mention a proration schedule. Still, like Breezy, Conquest ties coverage to strict owner compliance. The battery must be recharged immediately after each use and never left discharged overnight. Monthly top-off charging is mandatory if the cart is stored for any extended period, and the charger must only be operated indoors or in shaded areas to avoid thermal issues. The manual also states that batteries should not be charged immediately after heavy use or while hot. Use of any charger other than the one included with the cart will void the warranty.
In both cases, the burden of proof falls on the owner. If a battery fails, dealers will review charging habits, service history, and possibly data from the battery’s internal monitoring system. Warranty claims that show signs of neglect or improper charging behavior—no matter how unintentional—are likely to be denied.
Making a Warranty Claim
Breezy EV requires that all warranty claims be submitted through an authorized dealer. The customer must present the defective part or vehicle along with proof of purchase. If approved, Breezy will authorize repair or replacement, but any work performed by unauthorized parties voids coverage. Labor is only covered when the service is completed by a Breezy-certified technician. Claims are denied if the damage results from misuse, environmental exposure, or failure to follow service and storage guidelines.
Conquest Carts follows a similar process. Warranty service must be handled by the selling dealer, and the customer must provide a valid warranty certificate and sales invoice. Any disassembly of components by the user immediately voids coverage. Labor is included when service is performed by the dealer, but not otherwise. Replacement parts are provided free of charge if the failure meets the warranty conditions. As with Breezy, all replaced parts become property of the manufacturer and will not be returned.
Transferability and Resale Impact
Neither Breezy EV nor Conquest Carts offers a transferable warranty. In both cases, the warranty applies only to the original purchaser named on the sales invoice. Once the vehicle is sold or transferred to another owner, all remaining warranty coverage is void. This restriction applies regardless of how much time or coverage is left on the original term.
For buyers considering resale value, this is a critical limitation. A used Breezy or Conquest cart—even if only a few months old—carries no factory-backed warranty once it changes hands. Any issues that arise after resale must be paid for out of pocket, unless the seller offers some form of third-party or dealership-backed coverage, which is not included in the original manufacturer’s warranty.
The inability to transfer coverage reduces buyer confidence in the used market and limits the cart’s appeal to secondhand shoppers. This makes a proper maintenance history and service documentation even more important when it comes time to sell. Without transferable protection, a clean record becomes the only selling point for warranty-sensitive buyers.
