I'm told before the Villages expanded beyond 466A, all golf carts were electric. I suspect now that battery technology has caught up with the growth of the Villages, electric will become the standard again. Why would anyone want 1950s lawn mower technology when they can have 21st century lithium power? I would recommend anyone with a gas cart upgrade to lithium now while there is still some resale value in the gas cart.
Did you buy direct from Relion?
Do they sell the charger?
Thanks
