Upon moving to The Villages over a year ago, I purchased a gas cart. It was noisy and my wife complained of a hot exhaust pipe near her legs. I traded it in on a new electric cart and couldn't be more happier. I can now play my portable radio while going down the road quietly. I routinely ride from the south end of Morse Blvd. to Spanish Springs and back with no loss of power. What is this talk about anxiety? These carts are good for lots of miles without any worry. It's very simple to plug the cart in at night. No oil changes, tune-ups or driving to a gas station to fill up. Sure, batteries must be replaced but they can last several years if properly maintained. Figure the cost of gas oil changes and tune-ups over the years. Electric is also much more environmentally friendly. You be the judge.
