Based on estimated battery life from a ParCar representative, the cost for an electric would have been:
Cost of fuel (electricity): 2 cents per mile
Cost of batteries: 10 cents per mile
Total: 12 cents per mile
Of course, these numbers are far less than the depreciation costs per mile if you bought a new cart. YMMV.

Thank you very much for the great information. So basically $25/mth for gas and estimated $50/mth for electric not counting depreciation. Do you know if that battery cost was lead acid or lithium?
