My 72 volt lithium battery cost over $4,000, I don't know exactly how much it cost me to charge it overnight when it needs to be charged. I don't have anything against gas carts, I actually would like to buy one as a backup. I wouldn't trade my electric cart for the gas cart, one on one, Period. I am a performance guy and I don't mind paying for performance. Some people drive a Prius, some people drive a Corvette. Corvette driver prefers performance I happen to fall in that group. So I don't really care if your gas cart can go from gas station to gas station and fill up, what I do care about is that my cart out performs gas carts by about 100%. I'll just make sure I have enough charge to go where I want to go and still have fun. Have fun on whatever you ride and enjoy.
