Gas 250 miles. Electric 60 miles. Maybe. The villages is now 30 square miles and getting bigger. I was with my neighbor in his electric cart. On the golf course. We hit the transition between the grass and cart path. Pretty good bump. His cart died on the spot. Locked up. Could not even push it in neutral. Tow guy came and inserted a plug into an electric socket under the dash that put the cart in neutral. We pushed the electric cart to the street and onto the tow truck. The shop looked at it and said the repair is so expensive it’s not worth it to have repaired. The owner then went and bought a new GAS cart. So apparently he did not think much of the electric cart and switched to gas. Just fyi.
I like my gas cart. Don’t have to worry about charging it every day. Fast. Quiet. Etc.

I can run all day as far as I want in my electric cart, simply plug it in at night and its ready for the next day. No oil to check, fuel tank to top off, no belts, hoses & filters to replace, no finicky injectors or exhaust system..and with my lightweight Lithium batteries my cart weighs half as much as a gas cart. Gas engines are going the way of the dinosaur & the sooner the better.
