E-Z-GO Elite Lithium Series

[stewswain]

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.

Is that for the 180ah Li-48/180? :)

[jimbo2012]

there are several AH rated systems including a 180ah, but new pricing is due soon.

[MorTech]

Which AH system is "about $2000"?

[jimbo2012]

As I said I'll have the exact prices soon

Stopped by the Tomberlin dealer yesterday.
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.

[jimbo2012]

Still waiting for the date

Jimbo, Will your batteries have a warranty?

[jimbo2012]

I'm sure they will but until a formal announcement I can't say.

They say the expect the units to be ready sometime in May

What is the cost of adding solar? What is the warranty on these batteries? Is the 30% off of both the batteries and the solar or just the batteries?

[jimbo2012]

The solar installed is $789 no tax
Lithium still not available if it was as long on same invoice you are eligible for 30% on all

For now we are using the Trojan Rangers with solar, works very well

[MorTech]

What is the Amp-Hour rating of the $789 solar setup?

[jimbo2012]

Panels are generally rated in watts
