You have read the experience of many other owners.

You have seen the calculations of multiple manufacturers.

Your singular experience is different.

Everyone else is lying? Or, maybe you need to have your cart checked out.

04:59

- You don’t charge overnight night and took this picture this morning but didn’t post it for 16 hours?
- You took this picture this morning after getting up at 3am for a 20 mile drive?
- 04:59 shows hours used and you averaged 4mph over those 21 miles?
- 04:59 is supposed to be the current time and your gps clock is not working but you still believe the mileage it reports?

Is there a fault, or just the usual electric, gas argument?
Just a general pot stir?
What is the point of the post?

How is this a "Public service announcement"? I don't even know what you are trying to say or what you are asking...

Range anxiety. A problem found mostly in battery carts.

The post is only relevant to those folks who have Lithium Electric carts, who have been told (or claim) their 210 Amp battery is going to get them 70-80-90 miles. It might ... if you drive it at 10 mph.

This is old news. I live just north of 44 and have a ten year old Par Car. I can travel to all parts of The Villages and back without any concerns. Now that the novelty of driving that far in a golf cart has worn off, I usually take my car if I am driving that far.

My card has a lithium battery, 205 amp hour, it will get 70 miles of range on one charge going 20 miles an hour easily. That's not a claim, it's a fact, anyone who says otherwise is misinformed or outright lying.

I have an ezgo lithium cart and have traveled as far north as possible from as far south as possible and didn’t even use 1/2 my charge. There’s never been one time I’ve even come close to thinking I might run out of charge. I’d never drive a golf cart that long or far for any reason whatsoever. Also, I was behind the smelliest loudest gas cart the other day and had to pull over just to get away from the fumes.

My friend has 210 Amp Cart. He has driven in multiple occasions, from Shady Brook (Eastport area), to my home in Silver Lake (Historic Side).

That’s about 42 to 45 miles total round trip, depending on your route. After getting back, he still has about 35%, average charge remaining. BTW, at 20 mph, probably a bit more. His cart can go closer to 25 mph.

He has taken other brands service/loaners (Lithium too) on that kind of trip, similar results.

Seems you need to check your cart condition. Maybe service needed.

Just keep an eye on the mileage since the refill. I easily go 210 miles before needing gas. Works every time, without looking at the tank.

Unlike the others, I will tell you this can and will happen. LI batteries can be "untrained" real easily. It's all in the charge timing etc. whatever the manual says for battery care needs to be followed exact with no exceptions ever. This is the "or else" scenario. Seen it many times.
