Yesterday carted to Southern Oaks, played 18, drove to Sumter Landing, then to Spanish Springs, then home. No range issues. 55-60 miles and still had 45% battery reserve. Quieter, more torque, zero smell. Gas is the past. Go ⚡️
Sounds like a VERY optimistic assessment of electric range----far in excess of what the manufacturers claim. Count me as suspicious as to the validity of that claim.
