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.

I have maintenance free batteries and they are not lithium so not watering. I don't know anyone that will sit in a golf cart for 100 miles. I get 50 miles easily and if I do that distance my butt hurts, even with the good seats I have. Hillsborough to Hacienda Hills, 18 holes of golf and back was 24.5 miles. Not a bit effort to put a plug in the socket....I can do that
. Didn't say I need to trade carts every 5 - 6 years, just that I do. It's a new toy thing.
