Doesn't everybody?

But I went for the 20"s...

I added Sawgrass and Edna's to bring the total up to 45 miles

Looked again and didn't see the 90 or the 120 claimed as distances actually traveled. So I still haven't seen claims of trips over 60 miles.

You did ask for a 70 mile range in this thread; I was incorrect about that. (though I still think I remember 80 miles somewhere)

The cost of 300ah+ LFP prismatic cells are about half of what they were just a few years ago. You can now build a 120 mile battery pack for about $2000 plus a quality/efficient charger from Lester or Delta-q for $500 = $2500. That is a 20 year calendar life with near-zero range degradation and about one penny per mile for electricity and zero maintenance.

People replying that it isn't a hassle are missing this person's point - Hmmm did I leave my cart plugged in?
Has nothing to do with plugging it in, it is unplugging that is a valid concern for this person. Read the whole post......

The charger shuts off automatically when fully charged...It's not the lead-acid stone ages anymore.

I think very few people take "road trips" in their carts ,occasional sight seeing mostly errands and golf.

Yet when there’s a discussion about gas vs electric the gassers will always say you can’t get far enough on a single charge. The point OP was trying to make is yes you can, quite easily.

When it is that cold, the golf courses should be closed. You are also likely driving an automobile regardless of what type of golf car you own.

Same here...don't pay much attention to miles. I go to various places everyday usually 10 to 15 minute trip. On the weekends we may drive around and do 2 to 3 hours of driving. Publix is 20 minute golf cart ride and go 2x times a week or so.

We also have gas

Which in turn is HIGHLY dependent on how far you travel. Ten miles, yes "quite easily", 80 miles, not so much. Also, if I forgot to check the gas gauge and got stuck, Kart-aide will bring me gas in less than 15 min and I'm on my way. Electric carts get towed and then a what? a 6-hour charge?

I have used my cart for estate and garage sales, as well as the usual sightseeing, shopping and dining and have occasionally put 100 miles on it in a single day. My longest day? Just under 125 miles. (I know. The last time I bought a golf cart, the salesman didn’t believe anyone could do that)
Typically I start out up near Mulberry Grove, hit the sales and food along and off the Buena Vista thoroughfare until I get to Brownwood. Then off to the sales and sites towards Fenny. Then back across the turnpike to Sawgrass Grove then back across the turnpike at Bexley trail to Middleton. Then down to MickeyLee. Going back, I use the Morse boulevard thoroughfare and hit the neighborhoods on the eastern side of the villages until I get to the old side where I usually end up having dinner at Takis north of 441. Doesn’t happen often but it does happen. Been here 11 years and have stopped to help a stranded villager 10 times. In every case, they were in a failed electric cart and were happy that the village’s is America’s friendliest home town.

Colder the better. Doesn’t stop me. Besides very few players on the course.
