When you 1st move here, you won’t know where the functions you want to attend and you won’t for a year or longer. When you move here, you know nothing about the 3000 clubs inside the villages, where you might be playing golf, archery, cards, pickleball, tennis, etc until you live here. We tried the 1 car 1 golf cart scenario and 1 of us was driving an hour or more 1 way in the golf cart to get to a function because your spouse is going in a different direction.
As for electric vs gas, range is only 1 item to look at when deciding. Look at the long term costs of replacing the lithium battery every so many years (thousands of $$$), disposing the hazardous waste lithium battery, compared to normal fairly cheap maintenance of the gas cart that is almost as quiet, gets 4x the range, and if happen to run out of gas, there are dozens of nearby gas stations to fill up, whereas there are 0 charging stations for electric
