This would handle my typical needs, but would like an option to extend if we ever head up to Spanish springs with the cart. Just bought a place in Desoto.

I prefer a gas, but the fumes bother my princess. After doing some initial research, Evolutions have a lot of features for way less than Yamaha gas carts. I understand that batteries have a shorter lifespan and the fire risks that seem to be a common thread in these discussions.

I know this question was asked a couple years ago, hoping things have changed.

The Developer of The Villages isn't dumb. I suspect they'll be charging stations somewhere in Eastport, but there aren't any in TV right now, that I know of.

Don't hold your breath trying to get 30-40 miles range, unless you have at least a 150 Amp battery.
