Trip back was with the lights on and battery had 42% left. That is quite a long trip in a cart back and forth. I guess I always ask the gas cart people how much further are you going to go in a day than from almost as far South as you can go (once Eastport opens it will be further south but not by much).
We love this cart. No fumes, no noise so you can actually have a conversation easily with people in the back.
One trip we took was from Lake Denham to Fenney Grill and all around Eastport, then to Middleton. It was most of the day and when we got home it was at 32%.
Yes, we wish they had the 205 battery and we hear it will be back soon but this one does do the job.

No one is suggesting anyone travel 50 miles in a golf cart in one fell swoop.
But I've had days where I traveled 10+ miles to a golf course, rode 6- 7 miles playing golf, another several miles to eat lunch and 10+ miles home.
That's more than half that "50 mile"...
Now, add a trip to the pool or grocery store for a few more miles each way, go out to one of the squares or dinner for another 5-10 miles each way and it's easy to hit that "50 mile number" (or even higher)...
Breaking up the trip as I suggested removed the silly "iron butt" argument...
