Your comment on "battery exchange every few years" is wildly incorrect for lithium carts. Battery life is estimated to be in the 10-15 year range. Warranty is for 8 years on the battery. My battery is rated for 3500 cycles. I've got 800 miles on it and only 12 cycles.
By the time you need a new battery, you will probably want a new cart. The money saved from gas and maintenance for those years compared to a gas cart will cover the cost of a new battery if you decide to keep the cart.
