Default Re: Purchasing a new golf cart

Let's see if this helps:

My reasons for electric...

Quieter
No fumes
Easier, less expensive maintenance
No need to mess with gasoline $$$
Charging is easy
Battery maintenance takes 10 minutes a month.
Annual tuneups cost less
Range is not an issue - who wants to travel more than 40 to 60 miles per day in ANY golf cart - can you imagine going to Ocala and back in a golf cart - 40 miles round trip?
Yes - $650 in battery replacement in 4 to 5 years - a wash compared to $3.50 gasoline.
