This is not true. In speaking with the fire chief, he says most golf cart fires are from Gas Carts. Think about it. True lithium batteries can catch fire but this is extreemly rare but with gas there have been several incidents here in the Villages in the past year where someone goes and fills up an either the gas cap was not installed tight or they splashed gas on the engine and then drove off only to have the gas ignites and burns the cart to cinders. This happened last year by the Southern Oaks bridge, this year in Sumpter Landing and I believe at Brownwood as well.

The point is both types of carts can catch fire if not used properly.

You can also look at the Atomic Carts in Wildwood.
