Wink I was faced with the same delimma

When we made our purchase of a home in The Villages, I was asking the same question.....gas versus electric. A starter at Glenview made my decision for me: "most of the carts we have to pull off the course are electric. Although, the problem is mostly a wiring connection, it still ruins good game of golf. If you plan on charging your electric cart, going to the course and playing 18 holes and driving it home and putting back on charge, then electric is the way to go. However, with the size of TV increasing as it is, if you plan on using your cart to go all over The Villages for golf and shopping and driving at night (which will run down a battery quickly) then, there is no choice.....Gas.

Proponents of electric base their objections on noise and smell. Yes, they make more noise than electric....duh....but smell...rarely, very rarely do I smell any exhaust and then it would be in a tunnel.

Your choice!!
