When they have a reliable 80-mile range and no degradation for 10 years, I'm in. But anyone claiming that we are at that point now is delusional.
The OP who got 25 miles range had a 48v battery powered cart. Technically they're both electric vehicles but I think the term "EV" is now more reserved for vehicles that have lithium ion batteries. Most of them now have 200Ah batteries. I've had mine since 2021 and get a steady 70 to 75 miles per charge. I know of a few individuals who purchased lithium powered golf carts way back in 2016 and they are still getting the same range as when new… So your tenure benchmark is coming up real soon.....then what are you going to do????
