I'm afraid you opened this can of worms again---gas vs electric.
Gas is reliable, you'll get 250+ miles on a tank and if you ever run out and get stuck, cart aide can bring you a gallon
Electric is quiet and the range is improving. Electric enthusiasts will deny that the range decreases with battery age, others disagree. Eventually batteries need to be replaced---the enthusiasts claim 10-15 years, others 5-8 years. But if you plan poorly and get stuck you will get towed.
I currently own a Yamaha gas cart. I will change to electric when they attain about 90% of the reliability of gas.
Full disclosure: I will NEVER change to electric anything to "save the planet" from global warming---utter nonsense.
