We have two electric carts, a decision made after renting gas carts here for the last three years. We made the decision based on range, quiet, not having to deal with the smell (you can do the breath test in the tunnels) easy charge and auto fill systems. I have driven from Brownwood to Glenview, played 18 holes, went to LSL for lunch and back to Brownwood for drinks with friends. Distance was just over 60 miles and I still had plenty left. Having said all that, I agree with the other comments that you need to find what works for you and don't listen to those that have a bias on here.....you will have to use it, more importantly pay for it so it should be what will meet your lifestyle.

Just realize that "60 mile" range advertised will drop as your batteries age. Depending on amount of use you could see that range start dropping after 18+ months. Soon thereafter you will be deciding on whether or not to try that distance you used to be able to make, or replace the batteries and start over with the 60 mile range. This was the delema I did not like, and the reason I went to gas.
