Electric golf carts are not "new". I had one when I first moved to The Villages 18 years ago. But after replacing the batteries three times in eight years (with batteries going from $45 each to $100 each in that time span) and, at one point, having to push my golf cart three blocks to get it home after a trip from Polo Ridge to Brownwood and back I went gas. I've never regretted it. $42 mpg, 200 mile range, $85/year for an annual maintenance check-up. You can keep your 60-80 mile range electric.
