Lithium batt/electric degrade is such a minor issue. The new tech is very stable and very long-lasting. Ours gets 80-100miles. And (per your comment) IF would lose 5% over 3 years (which is doubtful) that's 75-95 miles... Actually I would be thrilled with 50 miles... We never drive our cart over 25 miles in a day. Plug the cart into 100V garage outlet, into on-board charger, and in a few hours, it's 100%. Just like our EV car - always leave the garage with a 'full tank'. And virtually ZERO maintenance.

We are NOT "GREEN" in the least. The ONLY reason we decided to go batt/electric is the quiet, smoothness, no maintenance/ongoing costs, smell, etc. For us, it's perfect. To each their own....
