It sounds like you've never had an electric vehicle or an electric cart.
I have had HEVs (Prius hybrid - great car) and currently own both a gas and electric cart.
Initial costs were similar for both automobiles and carts. EV and PHEV automobiles cost significantly more than HEVs - I won't be buying one of those for just that reason.
Maintenance cost is similar for HEV automobile compared to ICE automobile. Maintenance cost is nonexistent for electric cart compared to oil change, spark plug, air cleaner, and drive belt for gas cart.
Based on my experience actually owning and operating both, my future purchases will be HEV for automobile and electric for carts.
