APV,
You'll probably get a lot of different opinions. I think the biggest advantage of electrics are they are quiet and don't smell. Disadvantages are, they may slow on hills, must charge nightly and keep batteries watered, you could run out of charge if you drive long distances.
Gas cart disadvantages are noise and smell. Advantages are they go hundreds of miles on a tank of gas, keep their speed on hills and are low maintenance.
We have gas mainly for peace of mind in not running out of charge. We live on north end, can go to south end to play golf, play 18 holes, go to town square, make other stops on the way home and never worry about battery dieing. When third town square area is built, there will be even more ground to cover.
Please be careful with a child in the cart. Drivers here are not always the greatest. I would not let a child drive the cart!
Hope this is helpful.
