If you want the flexibility to travel anywhere in the expanding Villages community, it is currently safer to select a gas engine cart for now. The lithium carts are getting better but you will be stuck if the battery runs out while you are traveling long distance to the new areas of the Villages! My gas golf cart goes 300 miles on a tank and I only fill it once a month..
If I were traveling long distances in The Villages I would take an automobile, not a Golf Buggy. I would use a Golf Buggy for SHORT distances.
