I tend to question if range is IMPORTANT for most people. I would guess that 70% of cart owners don't go over 5 miles per day. Sure newbees want to see every part of TV Land and the golfers want to play every golf course, but when the newness wears off, I think that most Villagers put around 5 miles per day on their golf carts. Just my opinion.
