I think the cost justification is still a close call for electric carts. Also the lack of charging locations around TV. With the advent of lithium batteries I expect we will see more and more places to plug in and "top off" your charge, something that is ill advised with lead acid batteries.

So the 250 mile range of gas is still a easy choice for most.
