We bought electric because it is quiet and doesn't stink. And yes, we tried out a new Yamaha QuietTech which may be quieter than a similar non-QuietTech cart but is not my idea of "quiet". And when you drive through one of the tunnels behind a gas cart there is no question about whether it is gas or electric unless you had covid recently and lost your sense of smell.
I totally get why some people who drive their cart everywhere (and maybe don't even own a car) would buy a gas cart. One of these days we plan to rent one for a day to go exploring "down south" (we live near Spanish Springs). But we are happy to travel around in our thirty-minutes-from-our-house circle in our clean, quiet electric Yamaha.
If you see a redhead in a red cart who waves at every cart that goes by, that'll be me!

You got it right. Frankly, I use my "street legal" electric cart for any trip that it is legal to use it. This is not because I do not have another, regular, car but because I like it and it is much cheaper. Street legal cars are great, not because you can "legally" drive a little faster but you do not have to go in and out of every circle to get where you are going. With lithium batteries, you can get 80 plus miles per charge in quiet comfort.
