Dealers will lie about electric carts & never go for the hard sell because they make a ton of money in service charges with gas carts. Electric carts are pretty much maintenance free with very few components. Gas carts are a goldmine for the service department due to their complexity and maintenance including oil changes, filter changes, belts, hoses, coolant, injectors, starters, etc. It's the same at car dealers; they want you to buy a gas powered vehicle not an electric one.
