EZGO Elite or Star Sirius. The EZGO 4.2 has a range of about 60 miles and charges at about 10 miles for every hour. The Star Sirius lithium has a range of about 80 miles and charges about the same speed. Both are about $18K at the villages golf cars. I think the Star is a better buy but both are going to be reliable for at least 10 years. With EZGO, all you do is replace the tires when they wear out and just plug it in the wall every night. No brake pads or oil changes. Zero maintenance. I see a lot of Evolution carts south of 44. I don't really trust the longevity of the lithium pack like I do with EZGO and Star. Lithium battery degradation is far less than with lead-acid. Your EZGO will degrade linearly to about 50 miles of range over about 10 years. You don't need to keep lithium batteries fully charged like lead-acid but ideally you should store lithium batteries at about 50% if you are away for more than one month. Lithium batteries don't like to sit fully charged for long periods of time. I am using my neighbors EZGO Elite whilst she is away for the holidays. It is an excellent cart but is does feel a bit tippy when cornering. It is higher off the ground than others. The Star cart has a bit more giddy up.

Yamaha will be coming out with their lithium cart Spring of 2022. Yamaha website states "Coming Soon".

For all the fear-ridden television watchers - CO2 is plantfood...it makes plants green.

Can someone explain to me in scientific terms why lithium batteries are not recyclable? LiFePO4 or NCM. Lead-acid batteries are 99% recyclable.
