I have a 2002 Club Car IQ rebuilt by the defunct Golf Cart Connection in 2006. It's equipped with six 8 volt batteries. I use it constantly and the batteries were broken in nicely. I've never had a problem with range. I go and do whatever I want to do. When I come home I plug the cart in (waiting a bit to allow the batteries to cool a bit) no matter how long I plan to be home, and then head out again. I've easily traveled as much as 40 or 50 miles in a day in my little mover.

Cost??.........I don't know, but I have no can of gasoline in my garage and I like it that way. Plug it in........good to go.
