Nope. SECO charges approximately 14 cents per kWh, not the 8 cents you claim. Your cost is actually almost twice that. Your watt-hours per mile would suggest a range of 113 miles. Are you actually seeing that in typical use? I assume you were keeping your speed pretty low. The difference in power consumption between 18 mph and 22 mph is almost 2x since power goes as the cube of the velocity. Your watt-hours per mile figure is useless without knowing the average speed and other factors. I can get that figure with my electric cart also but it would not reflect the actual usage of the cart; stop and go, speeds faster than I should be going on the MMPs, playing golf, etc. There is some help from the regenerative breaking but not much on average. However, if you were averaging something like 24 mph then that would be a good figure.

It would be nice to have people with other brands of lithium carts conduct this same test. A Kill-A-Watt meter is about 30 bucks at Ace/HD/Lowes/Amazon.
