Possibly, because it came from the newspaper that shouldn't be named (although, the TOTV engagement farming bot, posted it on FaceBook).

I'm re-posting, because people seem curious about what kind of car it was.

Looks fairly clear, it was a gasoline fine.

I drive Yamaha Gas, but the electric segment has come a long way in a short time. We'll see what the next one is. To each their own.
Looking at the picture of the burned out cart, the presence of a big chunk of metal where the motor would be and the absence of anything that looks like a clutch provide pretty good evidence that it was an electric cart. This also supports the reporting in the paper.
