Correct. It's not really the "days" it's the miles because if I go 50 miles in one day then I would need a charge the next night but 99% of the time I do go 5-6 days. When I use HEAT or A/C it will be a bit less (the heater pulls a LOT more amps than the A/C) but I rarely use either. So comparing "apples to apples" as most electric carts have no heater or A/C 65 miles per charge is very accurate as I keep records of traveled miles between every charge. I could probably do another 5-6 miles but don't want to take the chance of running the battery all the way down to zero which would be the same for gas or electric because with either case you'd need 3rd party assistance.
In 4 years I've only been stuck ONCE which was when the cart was 2 days old because I wanted to see how far I could go! It was 72 miles when it conked out.
