I'm sure there have been some Lithium Battery fires, but it certainly doesn't compare with the risk of storing a gas powered cart in your garage and maybe another 5 gallons of gas for emergencies. Gas can explode, Lithium batteries can get hot. Pick your poison.


Anyone who buys anything other than a Lithium Battery Golf Carts, is mired in the past. Lithium power is vastly superior, in most every way. There's a reason such a huge percentage of Yamaha Gas Carts are being shipped to The Villages ... golf courses don't buy them any more, they buy electric.

Personally, I think the Star is a way better cart than the Evolution, but that's only my opinion.
