I think the operating costs for electric are much more than a gas. We had to replace all our batteries within 2 years, at a cost of $650.00. We do about 15 miles a day, 5 days a week, so that's about 3800 miles a year, and I figure it costs about $2.00 to charge your electric, so yearly costs to drive 3800 miles is about $325 + $520 to charge the batteries, so that's $845 a year. In a gas buggy, At 40 miles per gallon, you'll use about 97 gallons of gas, at $3.00 a gallon,that's $300 to drive 3800 miles in a gas buggy. But the biggest thing is.............you dont' have to worry about RANGE, which is a problem we run into frequently.
