I would like to see a side by side, apples to apples comparison of the two. Are lithium vehicles truly more unstable than gasoline vehicles or is lithium just getting the attention now?
I think it’s definitely fair to say that lithium carts are more unstable than gas carts. I can’t tell you if that means there are more fires in one than the other but it is a fair assumption that gas vehicles don’t spontaneously combust. But you are correct there are ever improving safeguards being put in place. I agree that battery powered golf carts will eventually be the norm, I don’t believe this just because of the eco-friendly garbage. I think the quietness and lack of fumes are good reasons to buy.
