Yes that was me, just sold the first one built back in 2013, it was never plugged into a charger.
Went 50 miles + easy.

With the ranger trojan batteries,

Building another now you need about 250 watts to maintain the charge and I have a controller that prevents over charging

It was hard sell here with all the stinky gas cart folks.
