I'm talking about something that has a stock motor, probably and upgraded controller and solenoid and cables, around 23" tires, and no more than a fold down seat and a bow rack to keep it light(er) weight.

I have a 48V club car lifted and all kinds of goodies installed. Normally in the summer I get around 20 miles on a full charge and in the really cold weather I get 12-15 miles. This is with 2 passengers, hauling feed and stuff etc. our lease is 70% flat and 30% hills.
I usually just plug it in between hunts and at night just to make sure I'm fully charged. It's best not to let the batteries drop below 50% charge on a regular basis.

You are actually using it in the least efficient way like that. The slower your motor runs the higher the amperage.

I have a gas club car. I have abused the hell out of it and it is holding up great. I have put 350 lbs of corn on it with no problem. It handles most mud that my 4 wheeler can. I plan to upgrade to a ranger when this one is dead but I can't seem to kill it. The gas is pretty quiet and I don't worry about the batteries dying 1mile from camp.

Unless you don't have a way to charge it at camp then you don't have much choice. I have gone all over 1500 acres and not run mine down before and it was rugged terrain.
