Dach Apollo Gen2 vs. Dach Apollo: What Actually Changed — and Which One Is Right for You?
Dach has officially launched the Apollo Gen2 — the next generation of its best-known 4-passenger electric golf cart. The Gen2 replaces the original Apollo in the lineup, and it keeps everything that made the first one popular while upgrading nearly everything around it.
In this post we break down exactly what changed from the original Apollo to the new Gen2. At Galaxy Golf Cars in Plano, we carry the full Dach lineup, and the Apollo Gen2 is on our showroom floor now.
Dach Apollo Gen2 vs. the Original Apollo: The Short Answer
Both generations share the same core drivetrain: a 72V lithium (LiFePO₄) battery platform, a 6.3 kW AC motor, up to 25 mph, and roughly 50 miles of range per charge. The Gen2 isn’t a new powertrain — it’s a refinement of everything around it. Think of it as the same engine in a smarter, tougher, more finished body.
The Gen2’s headline upgrades:
- Built-in 72V power outlet (V2D discharge) — plug in tools, coolers, speakers, or electronics and use the cart as a portable power source
- Separate dedicated charge and discharge ports instead of a single shared connection
- Heavier-duty suspension and a higher frame profile for more ground clearance
- Larger rear trunk with support for removable golf bag attachments, plus an integrated license plate mount
- Upgraded lighting package — side skirt and roof ambient lighting, illuminated soundbar, and a functional overhead light switch
- Cleaner, integrated body finishes like flush-mounted fender flares
What Both Apollo Generations Share
If you loved the original Apollo, nothing you loved went away. Both carts include:
- 72V / 105Ah LiFePO₄ lithium battery (~7.7 kWh) — fast charging, long lifespan, zero watering or maintenance
- 6.3 kW AC motor with up to 25 mph top speed (street-legal LSV capability)
- ~50 miles of range at a constant cruising speed
- 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and backup camera
- 4-wheel disc brakes + electronic parking brake
- Monocoque unibody frame — body and chassis as one structure for less weight and more rigidity
- Cruise control, keyless push-button start, wireless phone charging, and 3-point seat belts
- 4-passenger, all forward-facing seating
