Doubtful. I put a watt meter on the cart while charging (you do realize the chargers are not 100% efficient? ) and measured about 200 watt-hours per mile to recharge. That is about 2.5 cents per mile at the current SECO total rate per kWh. The battery pack is 170 amp-hours and 60V and is good for about 60 miles. The battery pack is therefore 10,200 watt-hours or about 170 watt-hours per mile. This is consistent with the 200 watt-hours per mile to recharge when factoring in the less than 100% efficiency of the charger. If you were realizing 1 cent per mile then you cart would have a range approaching 200 miles (which it doesn’t even assuming a large battery pack of 210 amp-hours and 48V).

The EZGO RXV Elite lithium does about one cent per mile.
Even using 5X instead of 10X it would be $3375
