Besides when we came in 07 electric was very much the norm. Of course TV was the established SS, and the newly built empty LSL. Reason everyone owned electric wasn’t to save the environment, it was what was being sold at a higher volume at the time. Farther north you go you will see more the really old electric carts, still running and owners are very happy to keep their older carts.

As TV evolved gas became more prevalent, because older batteries just wasn’t going to get you there and back in those days.
