Gas carts are legacy products? Electric carts have years to mature before I would consider 1, same goes for an EV.
Lithium batteries are a hazardous waste item, no way to fix that.
Lithium batteries have to be replaced every 5-8 years at a cost of thousands of dollars. My gas engine will last decades even if I have to rebuild the motor.

What happens to the lithium cart if you run out of power on the golf course? I can carry a gallon of gas in my gas cart if I think I will be extending my hundreds of miles of a tank of gas.

How many charging stations in TV to charge your cart if you extended your trip (usually around 50 miles per charge)? How many gas stations in TV where I can fill up? Many more gas stations.

The initial cost is thousands more to start.

Gas cars/carts are going to be here for many decades to come
