It's a ridiculous improvement over my 2017 ICE vehicle. But there will be plenty of gas cars to drive for the next several decades, fossil fuels aren't going anywhere. The modern ICE car is a marvel of engineering, no doubt about that. I just wish they could get the efficiency a little higher.
I agree with the OP....if you can buy an EV that goes 250 miles and lasts for hundreds of thousands of miles for $35-40K, why does it cost $20K for an electric golf car? And why doesn't Yamaha make it?

Just a guess, but government subsidies on electric cars may be why the EV is $40K and cart is 20. No subsidies for golf carts.
Anyhow I'm waiting for the hydrogen powered carts.
