I totally disagree. I bought a used EZGO electric cart seven years ago and love it. It is quiet, no exhaust smell, and has about 30+ mile range: plenty to get me thru 18 holes with charge to spare. I just bought the EZGO Elite with a lithium battery which is rated at 60+ mile range. The battery is warranted for eight years and requires no maintenance, including no problems leaving the cart for six months as a Snowbird…
I live in Amelia, played 18 holes at Palmer, forgot to plug in the cart, and played 18 holes the next day at Glenview and still had a quarter of the meters charge in the battery when I got home.
I love that I don’t have to go to the gas station and have virtually no maintenance that is needed w/gas carts. I bought the Elite w/the lithium battery so I can get to the new Southern Oaks courses when they are finished. The convenience, comfort and pleasure of driving an electric cart makes it far better than a gas cart. I wish the villages would go all electric!!!
The new battery technology also gets rid of the fear of fires that old lithium batteries were known for.
Please consider all the advantages of this new EZGO cart before buying a gas cart. You will be very happy and The Villages will be a quieter place as well without the exhaust & noise pollution!!!
