Default Cost to Run EMerge

Latest # for the Cost of Running the EMerge

33 miles measured
19.21 kwh
241 hours it has been plugged in
.15 to .17 amps when sitting plugged in.
7 watts when sitting plugged in.
$1.92 Total cost to me @ $0.10 per KWH for the 33 miles

Cart is brand new 4 seat EMerge 44 total miles, terrain is flat, I only seem to run it flat out at 25 mph.

I think will start another sample after I get around 50 miles on this sample.

Thanks! Keep posting. I have never calculated it and was curious.

Timdelta, how many miles have you gotten on a charge? I just bought one and I was just wondering.

Question regarding the battery charge.

I have an 08 Emerge. Do you all keep your vehicle plugged in when you are not driving it? Its been cold here lately, so I am luckily to get it out for a quick drive even once per week. I have just had my Emerge in my garage plugged in for the past couple of weeks....

All the books (both battery books and owners manual) say to keep it plugged in. So far it looks like it is only using 7 watts after it is charged up. The most I have driven it with out a charge is maybe 10 miles. It is brand new 50 miles now and am breaking in the batteries in slowly.
I am going to give the power stats every 50 miles and see how it goes.

Timdelta did you get 70 miles on a charge? How far did you take the batteries down ?

No way that far on a charge. I drive on flat ground and only about 5 miles at a time. I keep the cart plugged in whenever it is at home. The most I have gone is about 9 miles. They (the batteries) never go past 60%, but it as you may know the meter on the Tomberlin is a little screwy and quickly goes to 50% or so.

I'm just trying to figure how far I can get out a charge, they say I should get 35 miles but I don't want to push that. I have 205-65-10 on my car and I should get a little more. The car rides and steers real good.
