All the electric carts except Par Car claim 40 miles on a charge. Par Car claims 60.

So let's consider what that means.

Carts are "legal" only if their max speed is 19.9 miles per hour...let's call it 20 mph.

With all the starting, stopping and turning while driving a golf cart in TV, chances are you'll average only about 10 mph.

So if an electric cart has a range of 40 miles, and you average 10 mph, that means you have a "time range" of four hours between charges. Assuming you plug it in every night, that means 4 hours per day driving around in an electric cart. Figure it any way you want, but can you imagine your butt riding around in a golf cart, averaging 10 mph, for 4 hours a day? I sure can't.

So if you're not going to spend 4 hours a day tooling around in your golf cart, the electric versus gas argument is specious. You could make it the round trip between the Publix on 466A and the Publix at Spanish Springs more than 4 times before your electric cart would crap out. Are you ever going to do that? If not, an electric cart will be fine in TV, regardless of how big it gets.
