No mystery at all. When I bought a gas cart 10 years ago, I estimated I would be spending $1000 every 2 -3 years on new batteries for an electric cart based on how many miles I thought we would put on the cart each year. The choice of a gas cart was pretty much a no-brainer. It turns out my estimate of annual miles was a bit low so the decision was better than I originally thought. With the availability of lithium-ion batteries, the equation has changed and electric carts are more attractive to me now. In fact, we own a gas cart and an electric cart. Since electric carts had more than enough range 10 years ago, that was never an issue. Since you don't own a golf cart, I don't really expect that you would have understood this.
