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.
I don’t think there are charging stations for golf carts yet. Probably is best to have a friend in those areas that will allow you to charge if needed.

My advice is to get a bigger battery, at least 150, based on your needs description.

I have a 210 battery on our C2 and I can go anywhere from where we live in the Historic Side, Spanish Springs near the Orange Blossom Gardens Pool.

We have driven all the way to Middleton, Eastport multiple times and always come back with at least 30% left. No range issues whatsoever.

Good luck !!!
