The EZGO RXV's have regen-braking. We have a 2010 EZGO with 12,000 miles and it runs as well as the day it was delivered new. We have the 4/12 volt battery configuration and it provides the range for 90% of our travels. We live in Pennecamp and can go up north to play golf at Amberwood or Briarwood, stop for cocktails or something to eat at Glenview and get back home with a little over half the power consumed. Batteries are 18 months old and we have a BatteryMinder which I highly recommend to condition the batteries especially if the cart will not be used for weeks at a time.
