Gas golf carts are legacy products and you probably won't be able to buy a new one, in another 3 or 4 years.

Electric Golf Carts have an 82% Market Share in the USA and a 64% Global Market Share.

They are demonstrably cleaner, more efficient, more convenient, need less maintenance, quieter and more comfortable. Gas carts have been banned by most so-called "golf cart communities" around the country.

Defending, advocating and even using a gasoline power golf cart, is no different than saying you have no use for a refrigerator, because your Ice Box works perfectly fine. Gasoline carts are dinosaurs and no amount desk pounding is going to change that.
But you know some people just have trouble with "change". Anything different or new is immediately suspect, hence all the dissing of electric cars, wind and solar power, etc.
