Assuming you have a highly efficient system of 100w per mile, that would mean you have a 12kwh lithium pack to get that 120 miles.
Did you pay $1,000 per kwh ($12,000) for that?
Who is the manufacturer?
Why don't you just charge it full after every use and have the full 120 mile range every time you leave the house?
FYI - You can get a low mileage 2015 Nissan Leaf for about $9,000...I has 24 kwh lithium-ion.
Current market forecast has lithium cells at $100 per kw within 3 years. That means that 120 mile range with lithium pack will cost you $1200. Electricity cost for that 120 miles at $0.12 per kwh so say $1.50...Compare to gasoline at $7.50. Zero maintenance cost on the electric cart besides tire changes for 10 years...Compare to gasoline cart of about $80 per year (oil, filters, belt, plug, battery). No smell, No noise. With the expansion of TV south of 44, I would want an 80 mile range.
I am guessing the EZGO Elite is about 110w-115w per mile and about 300 lbs lighter compared to their lead-acid cart.
