Keep in mind electric carts will lose distance in cold weather. It's not always hot here in The Villages.

Yesterday we went from St Cats south through the new sections then up McNeil to Everglades. Lunch at Ednas and over the WaterLily back to St Cats.
Unless we are off to the airport, Disney, or the casino, the golf cart is our main mode of transport.

I think it's more that we keep being told we should have range anxiety and we just don't get it. Or, we see others being told about range issues and we're trying to set the record straight.

So you think that people with gas carts could probably go their same daily distance with an electric? But the point is, I do not want to have to think about daily charging my cart, or when did I last charge my cart. I want to know I can probably go for up to a month and not think about charging or gas. It’s bad enough I must charge my cell phone every night, I don’t want to think about charging my cart. Oh and there’s the worry about leaving town at the last minute as I make trip plans always on the spur of the moment. Hmmm did I leave my cart plugged in? For me, it seems like an extra hassle.

Just think of an electric cart as a mobile park bench...And TV as a really huge park.

What are the odds of all that worrying actually happening?

From the man who refuses to use a cart that won’t go at least 80 miles…. even though no poster yet has claimed a trip over 60

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. E-golf carts have meters on their dash that tell if the charge is full or low. Don't forget that gas engines are old technology with little room for improvement. Widespread use of E-vehicles is leading to INTENSIVE research into improving E-vehicle batteries. E-manufacturers are in an early part of THEIR learning curve.
