You could debate this all day long and the decision in the end will be yours based on your needs and $$. If you do not want to worry about how far you are driving and will you have enough range to get there, buy a Gas Cart. If your not traveling that far buy an Electric Cart. As for the pollution aspect ask yourself this: How do you think that electricity you used to charge your cart was generated? It did not magically appear. Every time you transfer energy from one type to another there is an inefficiency part of the conversion. I have an electric cart because it will travel as far as I need it to travel. Its 14 years old and on the 3rd set of batteries. Also at the time Gas Carts just stank as they burned the fuel. I do not smell the new ones like the old technology. Then here is the $$ value. How much do you spend on a cart before its better to just buy another car? Don't over think this.
