Express L6 - which electric powertrain?

PatentlyPhil · 10-12-2020, 09:49 PM

I’m looking at ordering a new L6, but I’m not sure whether I should get the 72VAC or the Lithium. Pros and cons of each, minus price, would be great. Range and performance are the most important. Moderate hills where we are in central Georgia.

Any advice would be great!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking at picking up a 2021 EZGO Express L6, but am torn between the 72VAC and the Lithium powered car.

I am mostly interested in range and performance. We have a rather large neighborhood, and the last thing I want to do is get stuck with dead batteries. We don’t have too many big hills, though our driveway is a little steep. We’ll mostly be driving with 2 adults and 3 kids and a cooler.

Any pros/cons between the two options (minus price)?

Those are significantly different systems, but even at 72v, if it is Flooded Lead Acid batteries you are still limited to 50% SOC for usable range. With Lithium you have up to 80% SOC and there is no acid to deal with, watering to do or messes to clean up. If I am looking and range and longevity of the system, I would go with the Lithium option.

And Welcome to BGW!
