We have no desire to go from one end of the villages to the other, my Acura SUV or Jag XKE V12 has a lot better ride (I threw that in since I saw you had a Jag also). Last few years we wanted to upgrade carts and EzGo Lithium was top on our list since they by far seem to have the best Lithium cart (8 Yr warranty on batteries and best range). Club car can't match the EzGo Lithium range and 5 yr warranty and Yamaha is the gas car choice but not an electric choice. The issue is the price of Lithium and recently Ive been doing a lot of price checking on ExGo Lithium with Sleekline cab and you will be in the $21,000+ range for new. Since I can almost buy a new small car for this price we settled for a EzGo electric with lead batteries with the thinking Lithium could go down not up since all car manufactures are moving rapidly into lithium electric cars and technology will improve millage and the price my not come down but doubt if it will go up (Believe it or not I've been wrong once or twice before but can't remember the exact reason). So far very happy with the EzGo and Sleekline cab (my wife especially likes the cab and we actually get good use out of it ). We didn't go for any of the Closed car door type of carts since they just don't seem like a good choice for us if you golf. I also have a feeling that car manufactures and the car buying public are even more serious on electric cars with the current Russia situation and gas about to go thru the ceiling.

The XKE is a. really nice car! And, thanks for your answer. I also have been thinking may lead batteries now, and convert to lithium when they come down.
I expect we would get bored after about 30 minutes driving so, I agree with you there. I guess I was thinking 30 minutes would give us about a 10 mile radius to drive around in. Lead acid should handle that with no issues.
