You might get 60 miles per full charge from the EZGO Elite 4.0 (120ah). If you keep the charge levels between 15%-90%, you should easily get 20 years from the lithium pack...perhaps 5000 charge cycles. The EZGO lithium cart is expensive but will be nearly trouble/maintenance free...Basically just tires and transaxle oil changes every few years. The much lower running and maintenance costs of the EZGO Elite (electric is about 5 cents ($0.10/kwh) a mile less expensive than gasoline ($2.50/gallon)) will pay for the big price premium of the EZGO lithium cart, over time. Snowbirds don't have to worry about charging the lithium battery whilst they are away for 7 months like they do with a lead-acid pack, which needs to be kept fully charged at all times to avoid sulfation and acid stratification.
