This doesn't work in real life. You only get the full 13 miles if the cart is left sitting in the sun all day. Who's going to leave the cart out in the sun all day when you know the damage the sun and heat does to the rest of the vehicle?
The only time it will charge for most folks is when it's in use... and you're typically driving under trees for about 50% of the time on the paths. On the course, you could keep it in the sun, but doing the math the vehicle would only be outside in the sun for 4-6 hours per day which gives you only 6-8 miles.
A better solution would be if you had a permanent panel at home and battery charging station for the swappable batteries. That way batteries are charging all day long.
