They are either going to have to increase rates for everyone or begin charging different rates for electric and gas carts because of the significantly higher number of rescue calls per electric cart customer. I was told many people have a false sense of security regarding their carts range because they have newer technology lithium batteries and fail to keep their carts adequately charged. As an owner of gas golf carts, I hope they opt for tiered pricing rather than increasing rates for all types of golf carts.

I've often thought it was unfortunate more people were not like me 
That's interesting information about the cart rescues. As easy as it is to keep the cart charged I am surprised that some have problems with it. It will be a shame if rates have to increase due to those that can't remember to plug the cart in or check the charge before leaving.
