an undisputed fact so take your calculations.......
A typical 48 volt battery powered golf cart has 8 6 volt batteries, each with a usable energy of about 200 Ahrs (amp hours). That is 1600 Ahrs total which is good for say 80 miles maximum distance (being generous here). A solar panel (today's technology) is about 16 square feet, about the same area as a golf cart roof, and realistically can produce about 45 Ahrs per day under the best sunny conditions. That equates to about 2.1 miles.
