[QUOTE=JoMar;1274810]Still don't understand distance anxiety......have had two electrics for two years and have never had a place I couldn't go. We live below 466A and often go to SS for a show at the Sharon, have also played OB on the historic side and came south. As stated, I just don't understand it. Yes, we do charge it every night....it's really not that hard to put a plug in a recepticle. I have an auto fill on both carts and and use it every 3 weeks....that's 5 minutes each time....a lot less then driving to a gas station. As others have said, you can check the threads the battle fields but I also agree that you might want to rent both (for a month or two each) and see which you find environmentally compatible with your lifestyle.

HI, we have an EZ Go and love it, absolutely no problems. The AGC firm, Golf Carts near Bonefish Grill has been wonderful, they come out on short notice as we have had minor electric wiring problems, really minor.
People on here have mentioned fumes. Well how about this? When you burn one pound of gas, about one pint, it takes 14 pounds of air to completed combustion, if and only if it is properly tuned and a lot more air if it is not tuned right and I see and hear a lot of not properly tuned units on the paths. So, then a minimum of 15 pounds of combustion products go out the exhaust pipe.
So, you do not smell it? You do not feel the burning in your eyes? You do not know what is going into your lungs? Grab a chemistry book, basic, check combustion. Have you seen the huge lineup of gas carts at the maintenance shops?
Charging electric? About once a week, I plug it in for about 2 to 3 hours. Love it with the auto watering, quiet, no odors, no jerky flywheel clutch. No distance anxiety, NONE. No reservations on this electric cart at all. AGC Carts, wonderful.
