Default E-Z-GO Elite Lithium Series

Anyone have a review or information regarding EZGO Lithium Carts. I am in the market to purchase and wondering if anyone has purchased. I understand the cost is $4,000 more due to battery warranty and maintanance free. Just interested in charge time, distance etc.

Thanks

I had my cart converted from lead based batteries to Lithium Ion Power cells 2 year ago by Advantage Golf Cars (no longer in TV) When fully operational and on a full charge, I can get over a weeks worth of travel without the need to plug in and charge. I can now go from Mulberry to Brownwood and back on a full charge.

I say "fully operational" because over these past 2 years, I have had 2 batteries fail and had to have them replaced under warranty. Since AGC has moved to Ocala, it is a $100 charge for pick up and return for service.

We have new version in the works.

It will be far better than the current models, about half that cost

If you add solar take another 30% off

EZGO Elite Lithium has 3 models - 2.0(60ah*50v=3kw), 3.0(90ah*50v=4.5kw), 4.0(120ah*50v=6kw)

The EZGO AC motor is pretty efficient at about 100w per mile.
An EZGO Elite 4.0 has an approx range of 60 miles (6kw/100w) at 80F.
I am guessing it comes with a standard 1000w battery charger so charging rate of approx 10 miles per hour.

I have seen the Elite 4.0 advertised at $10K on-line. Still too pricey for me.

Yamaha and Club Car should have their Lithium carts this year so competition should lower prices.

As a lithium boost dealer I have been informed the new version is expected to be about $2,000 installed in any cart.

If there's any chance of competition in the lithium market, I would surely wait.

They say a lithium model will be out this year.

By soon, you mean?
I ask because there's a nice RXV near me that i thought might be a good candidate for a conversion.
