Nice pictures, where is the picture of the place to hook up a tow rope?

Add in the noise, smell, inconvenience and hot butts from gas carts, it's no surprise Electric Carts outsell Gasoline carts, by a 4:1 margin. |

I like being able to plug it into 115V outlet and it charges about 7 to 10 percent in an hour. Once it charges I unplug it to avoid a power surge zapping the controller/battery. I try not to charge it until it drops below 80%, as I've been told that excess charging can shorten the battery life. Don't know if that's true, but why take the chance? I prefer it to gas because of less regular maintenance and the ability to "fuel" from home, without having to keep full gas cans around. Also less fumes, although the newer gas models almost eliminate that. |

I'm not a big fan of EV, yet. In time they will be the go to for most or all modes of transportation but I don't think we are there yet, infrastructure or technology. All that said, after trying out golf carts the past 6 months there's no question for me that electric is the way to go. Cost, performance, comfort (noise and smell), convenience all go to electric. When the day comes to replace the battery I may be on here complaining about the cost, same if the electrical gremlins take over and make it a giant paper weight. If/when the ugly part shows I may wish I had a gas Yamaha but until then its electric all the way for me. YMMV |

IMO batteries have so many recharging cycles before they start loosing their ability to sustain full charge. Nicad batteries slowly lose charge while lithium hold charge longer the dies all sudden. It may take several hundred charge cycles but eventually the get weaker. Now Tesla battery packs maybe different due to hundreds of small cells working in unisons. |

As far as Tesla/EV, not ready for prime time, IMO. They solve no problem I have with my ICE vehicle, and add problems it doesn't have. Might be fine as a second car, but not something that I want to jump in and drive 300+ miles. |
