EZGO and Club Car use NMC battery technology...Most others are LFP.
EZGO uses Samsung SDI NMC cells and as of MY2021 they replaced the "E" series cells with "G" series. The new cells are more robust in every way. I calculated the charging at 0.15C and 4.05V per cell. This is very slow charging to about 90% capacity which will not harm the cells much. No doubt you will get their 80% capacity @ 1000 charge cycles spec (and probably do much better - Perhaps 90%) with the EZGO...That's 48 miles of range at 60,000 miles instead of 60 miles when new. Calendar life should be about 15 years in this application.
LFP batteries have very little voltage drop from 100-0% SOC which makes it difficult to calculate vehicle range. The reason why they want you to charge full all the time is so that the BMS system can recalibrate range. Tesla uses LFP batteries on model 3 and Y Standard Range and NMC batteries on their Long Range.
