No maintenance for lithium carts? The life of a lithium battery is between 5-8 years then you have to pay thousands of $$$ to replace them. Then the old battery is hazardous waste which is bad for drinking water. Say you forget to charge your cart and you are in the middle of the golf course, where are you going to charge it? Gas cart, I can either carry a gallon of gas with me or keep a gallon at the house or get a lift to the nearest gas station. My gas cart doesn’t smell, is quiet, have many gas stations nearby to get gas (and I live south of 44), and I don’t have to wait hours for a charge to go anywhere. The little maintenance I have to spend on a gas cart over 8 years pales to what the cost of lithium batteries will cost and the hazardous waste of the lithium batteries is much worse than the co2 from a gas cart
