A modular electric power supply adapter device for electric golf cars and electric utility vehicles is advantageous to the existing power supply adapter device for electric golf cars and electric utility vehicles because it is more convenient and more affordable. The problem that exists is that each brand of electric golf car or electric utility vehicle has its own uniquely shaped port. Prior to the present invention, the user needed multiple independent devices. The present invention benefits the user because one modular DC converter assembly now can be detachably coupled to a variety of modular base housing assemblies. The modular base housing assemblies have a variety of shapes to fit the uniquely shaped ports in each brand of electric golf car or electric utility vehicle. A modular electric power supply adapter device plugs into a charging receptacle or IQ port of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, and is used to power an electronic apparatus. The main components consist of input electric connectors positioned in a modular base housing assembly adapted to fit a charging receptacle or IQ port of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, output and input transfer electric connectors, a DC converter module, and an electrical output fitting adapted to receive an electrical connection such as, but not limited to, a USB, to transmit the DC output power from the DC converter module to the electronic apparatus. The modular DC converter assembly detachably couples to a modular base housing assembly.
