So realistically, if your lithium golf cart claims 90 mile range, realistically it is 60% of that. You want proof, as any Tesla or EV owner and google it for lithium golf carts.
Also, you can damage lithium batteries if you run the battery down and you can’t leave them on the charger for a long length of time (ask any owner), so if you are a snowbird with a lithium cart, what are you going to do?
If you forget to charge your cart overnight and you are on the golf course with 10% battery life left, you don’t have the luxury of going to a gas station and fill up.
You do know, lithium batteries are classified as toxic and require special land sites to discard, similar to nuclear waste.

Yet again, the Know-it-Alls. Our Tesla battery can be charged to 100% as recommended by Tesla. And use all the electrons down to Zero if needed. Exact same with our Custom Drive golf cart. The tech of new lithium batteries is fantastic. And we leave our garage with 100% full tank if we decide to charge overnight. OMG, can’t leave the plugged in? And your comment re Snow bird leaving a cart plugged in? Is that the best you can come up with? And the toxic waste thing is old news. All lithium batteries are recycled and not simply dumped. Please get the facts right.
Oh, and if our cart does need to be charged (even with up to 90 mile range). The AC cord is in the Frunk and simply lug into any 110v outlet.
Jeeeez.
