The Evolution D5 Ranger is a 4 seat forward facing cart - slightly longer than a standard Drive 2, but 14" shorter than the Yamaha 4 seat forward facing model. It has a lithium battery. The standard Drive 2 (without all the upgrades that we put on it) is 758lbs when the tank is filled with gas. Probably a little over 800lbs when all the upgrades are added.
The EV D5 weighs 1,058 lbs with the 110ah battery, and 1,129 lbs with the 205ah battery. So it's between 258 and 329 lbs heavier than a standard Yamaha. I don't think the additional 300 lbs will significantly affect tire life, especially at the speeds golf carts are driven at.
I'm taking delivery of the 205ah version any day now - it should get somewhere between 70-100 miles per charge.
