I've no doubt she has chosen the best of British craftsmanship.
Built by Garia (a Danish electric utility vehicle builder) in collaboration with Mercedes Benz, hmm.
When you're 96, you identify something that will make your remaining life easier, and you have the cash and no other plans for it, you should buy the something.
I have no problem with the notion of HRH needing a golf buggy to get around. My point is that it is still just an electric golf buggy. It may have comfier seats than the typical golf buggy, which would obviously be desirable to ageing bones. Leather upholstery?, depending on your own opinion this may be desirable, but neither makes it worth 500% more than a 'normal' golf buggy. The other stuff mentioned, like an infotainment screen and bluetooth, would the Queen be interested in or know how to use them?.
I don't know if there any UK made golf carts(?), probably not. Assuming that to be the case, a standard golf cart could have been purchased and then given to a UK company to make it more suitable for the Queen's needs. Not only would this be supporting a UK business, but the end result would almost certainly have still cost considerably less than £62k.
