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.

As this is the first post in this thread to mention gas, just WHO is it that "opened this can of worms again?"

But if you want to take this thread there, what data do you have that indicates electric carts are less reliable than gas? I can find threads about voltage regulator problems, starter brush problems, 12V battery problems (in gas carts), jerky start problems, and gas carts catching fire. From the actual problems reported on this forum (not speculation, actual problems) it would seem the reliability of electric carts exceeds that of gas carts.
