Golf carts a different story, but sure hope your prediction is erroneous, had many golf carts, but only one electric, one way enough for us. But to each their own. We all have things that are most important to us. We've found an oil change and a filter a nothing burger, about 10-15 min. twice a year. Compared to what we paid for batteries and the way the meter would "spin" while it charged, it was just not practical for us. We don't actually keep gasoline in the garage... except in our auto...LOL... but the gas cart we find much more practical than the electric we had. Good thing there are many choices and brands !

I am with you on this, as I do my own maintenace. Even if I paid someone to oil change, plug, air filter, and valve adjust for $160/yr...I will be long gone before I ever make up the cost of replacing batteries every 7 years. (People say Lithium last 10 years but I remember LED light bulbs were supposed to last 25...I replace some every couple of years)
