Assuming the numbers from the above post are accurate, it costs $1.74 to charge the cart after 70 miles of usage (10 miles/day) which is 2.5 cents per mile. Seems to match up with everything else I have read. PS. When I return, I will borrow a kilowatt meter and measure my packs exact charge requirements. One pack is 4 years old (6-8v) and one pack is 2 years old (8-6v).

Work was done by TOTV user elevatorman and lines up with my googling I have done in the past which is 2 - 2.5 cents cents per mile to charge.
PS to QUOTE PS. I never did get a kw meter as I thought I had found one for free. I never actually cared enough to buy one, but I am interested how pack configuration and state of pack affects the numbers. Maybe some day
