Not to mention all the fossil fuel it takes to mine, transport, and process all the nasty stuff that makes up the several batteries in the electric carts. Then every few years the batteries need to be replaced which creates toxic waste that something has to be done with. I fully understand that people like a quiet cart with no fumes coming out of the tailpipe, but don't naively try to justify it as being better for the environment.
