Good for you. Gas carts are also polluting the air. Florida does not care about pollution but I do. I do have a zero emissions car but all garden tools are battery including my golf cart.

What? No mention of lithium?
It's a game changer.

I see this discussion a lot and yesterday did a practical exercise. We took off from our home in Chitty Chatty, drove to Walgreens in Colony Plaza, then drove around our old neighborhood of Duval. Then we proceeded to the Brownwood Square, over the 44 Bridge to Megasen Road, on to Bradford and finally swung East to home in Chitty Chatty. Approx 22 miles and the cart/batteries are 3 years old. The Gauge dropped below half, so my guess would be about 15 miles remains on the batteries. We drive this cart at least once a day, every day, so no replacement is in site for now. For us, we will never buy another gas cart due to the jerkiness, smell and worst of all the noise.

Yea, I have a lithium Atomic. Get solid 60 up to 65 miles on a charge normally and 40-50 with the air conditioner or heater running continuously which I rarely use anyway. Cart and batteries are 27 months old with over 8000 miles and I haven't lost a mile through battery degradation yet thanks to lithium and do keep a mileage record each charge. It charges with a small plug on the side so an external charger isn't needed. I plug it in once a week before I go to bed whether it needs it or not. No hassle. :D 65 miles should get me end to end here in TV if I wanted to make the trip.

What I can't understand about the regular electrics running around here that have been UPGRADED to (not factory designed for) lithium is the fact like 200++ lbs of ballast is lost which doesn't seem very safe regarding tip overs relative to the C.O.G. In any case, if you buy a NEW electric factory lithium is the only way to go.

There a kit out there that will get electric up to and over 30 but it does reduce distance - I’m representing a company that makes a light weight solar unit that attaches to roof and will help charge a cart up to 100 watts-designed to extend battery life
