5 miles to lunch
5 miles to home

Plug it it an start over.

I don’t see the need to spend more than 6 hours in a cart in one day, so the old saying, gas goes farther, does not mean anything to me.

Cost, $800 every 6 years for batteries = $130 per year.
Even if the gas cart maintenance and fuel was free, I will gladly pay $10.00 per month for the convenience of clean and quiet Elec cart.
Agree. Our electric Yamaha is quiet and smooth and I still would not want to spend more than a couple of hours each day driving a golf cart. I'm aware there are lots of folks who go everywhere in their cart, but that just isn't me.

I prefer the quiet and cool of my car in the hot summer months to go anywhere beyond 5 miles.
