Gwen:
I try to follow the advice I was given when I first got my electric: charge it every time you pull into your garage.
Now, that's not really, really necessary, but it'll help prevent dying while you're a long way from home!
I recently had an issue with ever-shortening charged times, found I had a bad battery. Still and all, I find I average roughly 60 minutes before my so-called gauge indicates I'm at about half charge. My usual pattern involves maybe one 40-45 minute run a week, with lots of 5-10 minutes in between.
Just charge often!
And, as I mentioned in another thread on these pages, if you hope to golf way up along SR42 (Mulberry Grove) and live way down on CR466A (say, Duval), you'll maybe want gas, as that's roughly 15 miles each way!
