For the simple reason they stink, and those exhaust fumes can't be good for anyone's health.

All electric carts are not practical for a lot of cases. I don't think most people from south of 44 would feel very comfortable taking an electric cart to LSL and back. People with gas carts make that trip all the time.
I have a Yamaha gas cart, but we rented a lithium electric cart when we had extra visitors for almost a week.
We almost ended up with the electric cart running out of juice on the way home just by going to a restaurant and then one of the squares and back in a 4 hour span. We were down to something like 5% battery according to the dashboard. Was not much more than 20 miles of total driving. It seems when they claim a 40 mile range it becomes almost half that if you're averaging 20-25 MPH.
