Hi: The TM in 27TMX stands for Trolling Motor, as the trolling motor in the bass boats. While these batteries will work in EV's, they will not last as long as the Golf car types and the like, for the simple reason that the latter have fatter plates. It is a wise thing to bear this in mind when selecting batteries for EV's.
