I’ll have to go back and look harder. 120 seems very unrealistic given that’s eight straight hours of driving. But if so then an electric is not for them. Now, for the other 99%…

Have lived here 12 yrs . Drive cart nearly every day. Average about 20-25 minutes per day riding cart.

This is why I wanted real world distances to see how far people are really driving and so far it seems 30-40 miles a day is at the high end which is well within reach of most lithium carts if one chooses to go that way.

But the range you get with a battery, lithium or lead, is lessening every time you use it. And as long as you know this, go for it.

I make trips to Mulberry RCC from home (2 miles round trip) 5 or 6 times a week.

Hubby - Dog Park (Mulberry) 7 days a week, probably 2 miles round trip

Hubby golfing? couple times a week, distance varies.

Visits to Spanish Springs or Sumter town square? maybe once a month.

That’s still a baby by those numbers. You’ll do well on a resale if you choose to someday

You either need better seats in your cart or a newer cart with better suspension...

I sold mt 2013 Yamaha with slightly upgraded seats and their old suspension, and bought a 2017 QuieTech with El Tigre High-Back adjustable seats...

The difference is amazing...

Did you get the 10” spinners on it!

Whats the point?
If you need exact numbers why don't you go out with your cart snd get them?
Just saying

Do you remember going to buy a car at a roadside used car dealer back in the day.....and the sales guy says ‘it was driven by a lil ole lady, and only to church....and the gas and mileage was on a card above the passenger visor? That’s what the OP post reminded me of!

How long do you really want to be in a gas cart with all that ruckus...and if you still have good hearing and still have a sense of smell?

A lot of people value serenity. You really don't get that with laughable gas carts.

Tell me you've never ridden in a Yamaha QuieTech with out telling me you've never ridden in a Yamaha QuieTech...

Plus, who want's to drive around in one of those electric shoeboxes, with doors and windows, even if they DO have air-conditioning? I've seen ONE on the golf courses (the driver took forever to get in and out of that thing). And I've been a passenger in one owned by a good friend. I'm 6'1" and could barely squeeze into that sardine can. He sold his after having it sit in his garage for 3 years... (for a HUGE loss!)

Oh, and my Yamaha has BlueTooth speakers...

E-manufacturers are in an early part of THEIR learning curve.

When they finally get it right, I'll consider getting one...
