If I understand the route you took, it would have been close to 29 miles which is at the upper end of the stated range spec for the E-Merge 2, but you said your gauge showed only 50% usage.
Did you have the range extending 8 six volt battery option installed perhaps?

Yes, I do have the eight six volt batteries. I'm surprised to hear it makes that much difference. Are you using the auto fill system?
HMLRHT1 - Yes, I did have to go and get m Tomberlin registered. This is a one-time event. I do keep it insured, just as I kept my golf carts insured. I do not understand the belief that having to have insurance is a big deal. My liabilities are the same whether I am driving a golf cart or a LSV. Accidents, uninsured motorists, vandalism, etc are equally likely in either vehicle.
Insurance costs exactly the same through USAA - $90 every six months.
