I'm thinking why have a car in your garage and a golf car?

Why not just buy a Hybrid car and get all the comforts to go like AC.
Could carry more plus 4-5 people.

Sure, you can't use it on golf courses, or golf paths, (which maybe is a plus).

Hybrid vehicles run on lithium batteries, same as electric golf car with a gas engine
to charge the batteries.

Cost the same with one insurance policy.
Get more room in your garage.
No maintaining two vehicles.

Your Thoughts
I went the other direction. After a year and a half here, I sold my smart car and now have 2 golf carts. One is a Yamaha gas and the other is an Atomic electric. I had the Atomic certified and licensed as street legal LSV so I can cross over streets not allowed in the regular cart. It fills my needs for the most part. If I really need a car, I can always rent one at Enterprise. I have some regrets about selling my car but I’m getting by fine.
