One day I set out to see how far we could travel in our electric golf cart on a charge. We set out with a GPS and from Belleair we went to the Historic side, Spanish Springs, Sumter Landing, south of 466A via Buena Vista, Colony Square, back to Sumter Landing, Laurel Manor, then home. It was performing well so after dinner I tooled around the neighborhood 'til after dark just to run up some more miles. I finally quit at 42 plus miles. That is equivalent to Ocala and back. It is also way too many miles in a golf cart in one day.
