Yes, the cost more but they are also maintenance free. You pay for the convenience of not having to water your batteries every month. So if you want to save money, buy a cart with lithium ion batteries use it in place of your car as much as possible and keep it for ten years.
From what I understand they have a much greater range. One company was touting 100 miles on a charge.
So if those two things are of interest to you then they are worth it.
Also there is no need to trade in an electric golf cart every 5-6 years. Electric carts will basically run forever.
