Golf Cart Batteries
What is new in the golf cart world? My girlfriend wants to buy one to run around the paved streets in the RV park. Anything new in the way of battery or charging technology that she should look for?...

The latest thing is AC drive systems with 48V batteries, and of course Lithium batteries are just now starting to be offered by the major manufacturers though they have been available from the customizers for a few years. EZ-GO just started offering a lithium battery option this year as to cart's take a look at the EZ-GO RXV it was introduced in 2009, with an improved controller being introduced in 2012 so they are new enough to have a modern AC drive system, regenerative braking, etc. yet old enough to be available as off lease carts. We have one (2010 electric RXV) on the family farm that we bought about 2 years ago from a big used golf cart distributor (he sells thousands of used carts per year, mostly to small dealers), paid $1,800 for it with 1 year old batteries, then spent $450 or so freshening it up to make it look almost like new (new seat covers, plexi windshield, and new slightly larger wheels and tires).
What would be the comparable new price for that same model?
