200+ miles, reliably and consistently - similar to what a gas cart can do today between fill-ups.

A specific concern I personally have, given our current snowflake status, is that we're away from TV for months at a time. I simply wouldn't feel comfortable leaving an electric cart for that length of time. Yes, I know you can get a neighbor or home watch person to help out with charging intervals, maintaining the batteries, keeping an eye on it, etc. But for us, though, a gas cart seemed to make more sense.
