One other thing is the pollution and the gas powered may eventually not be allowed:
A gas-powered golf cart with a 10.5 horsepower engine that operates for 2.5 hours each week emits 1474.2 pounds of CO2 each year, according to a study by Princeton University.

2.5 hours x 52 weeks = 130 hours So you are telling me it emits 11.34 pounds of CO2 an hour?
At 20 mph x 130 hours = 2600 miles / 40mpg = 65 gallons How do you get 22.67 pounds of CO2 per gallon?
