One thing with the electric VS gas issue that no one talks about is what you are going to get on return for the cart when you want to sell it. It is absolutely proven that the best value BY FAR is a gas cart as the return on investment is much higher with a Yamaha gas cart.

I think it's more that we keep being told we should have range anxiety and we just don't get it. Or, we see others being told about range issues and we're trying to set the record straight.
If you need to haul dirt and stone then a Corvette is not for you. Most don't have that need. If you need to drive in the snow and ice than a Harley is not for you. Many don't have that need. If you need to spend five hours in a day driving 60 miles in a golf cart then electric is not for you. So far, no one has had that need.
Are there even enough lithium carts being resold to draw any conclusions about resale value or return on investment? "Absolutely proven" and "BY FAR" sound like great exaggerations at this point. When I was deciding which cart to purchase, how much I could get on return when I want to sell it was not even a remote consideration.
