More than once, I've driven up to Chatham, down to Hemingway, back up to Springdale, then down to Pennecamp all in one morning. Not my idea of fun but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
I'm with you on this one Red even though I also respect GN's posts.

The one problem I have with electric (I have 1 gas and 1 electric) isn't the initial charge distance. I can go anywhere as mentioned and get home. The problem is that I then feel that I need to recharge before trusting it again. So if I've put on 25 miles I know that I have 15 or so left but the fear is there that it may fail me. It has only happened once but I make sure that I use it fully charged (and that takes many hours) when I take off for the day. I have no issue with the noise or smell of my own cart. More likely to get the fumes from the cart in front anyway.
