You mentioned on another thread that you were working with a friend in New York that was creating a new concept in solar powered golf carts. How many miles does a solar boost add?

Is he far enough along to know the approximate cost of this kind of golf cart? Does he know who he would have manufacture it? I am sure all the people interested in saving our planet will be looking to buy something that is so energy saving.

The reliability is important too. It is scary to run out of charge in the awful summer heat and have to wait for a tow. I think many people who do care about green issues are torn because gas carts are more reliable and can be left in the garage for snowbirds with fewer untoward events.

Many would like to take the higher road but we must, as we age, be practical and safe too.
