My range is ~75 miles with 10% battery remaining.
I don't drive this distance often, but I want to be able to go anywhere in The Villages and not worry about battery being a factor. If I lived in the middle of The Villages, a 160ah battery would probably suffice, but if you're at either end, the 160ah won't be big enough.

I read two pages earlier today (which of course I cannot find again) that both gave a ballpark of 0.4 miles/AH for lithium. That would work out to be:
200AH -> 80 miles (your experience)
160AH -> 60 miles (my prediction for my cart, 3x55AH modules?)
106AH -> 40 miles (what I think I remember from my purchasing discussions)
55AH -> 20 miles (estimate for base configuration of EZGo)
Of course, these are ideal ranges and YMMV due to many factors including temperature, tire pressure, cart weight, number of passengers, driving style, etc.
