I have a 2011 EZGO with 6 8's. The batteries are now 3 1/2 yrs old and we have no problem going 40 + miles/day and the meter still shows 1/2 full (which does not mean you can do another 40 miles) . The AC engine, contrary to an earlier post, completely maintains its speed going up hills. Unlike gas and the older electric designs there is no loss of velocity. We got the water filling system, easy as can be. As we are full time, we have done fine with the regular charger, plugged in when the cart is home.
We will be needing to get new batteries soon but as we really use our cart a lot, we are pleased with the performance and design. Would do it again. We do live centrally in the Villages. If I were buying at Brownwood and thinking I would be using my cart to drive to Lopez, play 18, drive home in the dark with headlights on, that might be stretching the capacity of a charge.
There is a significant difference in the miles/charge if you go with the inferior 4 x 12 configuration.
