We compared gas and electric carts before buying a new Evolution from Botero Carts. If you are big on customer service and it being close, I would suggest The Villages carts. They have customer service down to a science, but you pay a lot more. Botero sales folks are not as helpful, so know what questions to ask before you go. They were very busy when we were there and talked really fast. Research online and decide what your personal needs and wants are before going.
The Villages carts offered a brand new 2024 cart for 16K. This was a 2-seater Yamaha that did not have a lot of power. They said it could be programmed for more power once we agreed to purchase (not knowing how much power turned us off). It also included upgraded seats and the color paint we wanted along with the rain enclosure. Even though it was a quiet tech it was loud and smelly.
Botero offered a brand new 2025 cart for 14K. This is an Evolution 4 forward seat cart with lots of power. We had the seats changed and the height of the cart lowered. It has a many more features including a tablet touch screen for the driver with car play and speakers. The battery was updated to 205ah lithium as well. We do have to add an extra $1500 for the rain enclosure. The down sides for us are the height is still high, and the seats are nice but, not as nice as our 2019 EZ GO. The golf bag holder is designed to cause the clubs to tilt out away from the cart, which my husband does not care for.
Just like choosing a house it is all about personal preference and what is important to you. No cart will be perfect, but with research and comparison you will be thrilled!
