I think those are older statistics. The gas carts are more prevalent here since "the villages golf cars" carrys, and thus encourages more gas cart sales.
The electric carts with 6-8 volt batteries or better yet, 8-6volt batteries are very reliable and offer great range. Up to 60 miles on a charge.
Most stranded electric golf cart users are those that haven't bothered to find out how and when to charge their carts. Or how to check their voltage. Some are renters who were given no instructions on use of the gc that went with the home they rented.
My hubby and I each bought used electric carts when we arrived here. His for $2500 and mine for $6500. They have been great! Very reliable and no range problems for us!!
The important thing is to educate yourself!! Al look at lots of cars before you buy. Each brand had it's pros and cons.
