It's never too early to plan for retirement in FL or AZ.
Here if the street is signed for 35mph or less then electric golf cart is allowed.
So buy one, take out half the batteries (leaving a few). Install engine, find junkyard or tractor supply generator to generate 12 or 24 volts to charge the batteries that remain in the golf cart. Now no plugin required for your golf cart, no range worries. Map out all your routes on 35mph or less roads.
Count the days till you move to retirement home in FL or AZ.

I already live in AZ. I want to do something like this when I retire.
