Here is the lithium battery cart information from Yamaha:

"The Yamaha Drive 2 PowerTech Li golf car, powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries, offers an impressive range for your golfing adventures. Here are the key details:

Driving Range: On a flat track, the Yamaha PowerTech Li can cover approximately 38 miles on a single charge.

Battery Capacity: The lithium iron phosphate batteries have a capacity of 105 amp hours per charge, ensuring you spend more time on the course than with other battery types.

Battery Lifespan: These batteries are designed to last up to 8 years, providing reliable power throughout their lifespan.

Safety and Efficiency: Lithium-ion technology offers rapid acceleration, a higher top speed, and charging times that are 1.8 times faster compared to lead-acid batteries. Additionally, the Yamaha PowerTech Li is 25% lighter, contributing to increased range."

I'm sorry, but 38 miles from a brand new electric cart on flat ground just doesn't do it in The Villages. Uphill????? 7 year old batteries???? No thank you.
