. I have had a lithium golf cart (Atomic brand) for almost 6 years in my hot due west facing garage (temps get close to 90 with door open around 4pm) and the batteries are as good as they were on day 1 (well maybe day 2). Haven't degraded a bit. Get the identical 65-70 range for close to 6 years. While it certainly ain't a Tesla it's lithium. Frankly I am surprised they haven't degraded after almost 20,000 miles as I was told their lifetime is about 5 years.
Anyway, I imagine they have Teslas in hot places in the middle east like Saudi Arabia so I think they can survive in The Villages.
