I've had both elect and gas. I liked the elect if I limited my daily runs to 50 miles or less. If I wanted to go from north to south and between I was worried the elect would run out of juice. Batteries IMO work Good for about 3 years then they start loosing there time between charges. About every 5 years or so 800 dollar battery change and going up depending on the cart you have battery arrangement? My gas I can go to Atlanta not have to worry (200 plus miles about 2 or more weeks for me between fill ups)
If I lived in central location where my travels would be with in the 50 or so miles elect for me would the my option. No noise, less preventive maintenance, no trips to the gas station (other to play lottery) plug in and go (occasionally top batteries off with distilled water) and I'm done.
I like fuel injection, no choke, (auto or manual) no gas laying in the carb. Better fuel air mixture ratio, less smell better gas mileage, less fouling or carbon build up. That's my opinion about Electric vs gas vs EFI.
