Default Gas vs electric

Last year my wife and I rented in TV, and the people we rented from were great to us, and they included use of their gas golf cart. Unfortunately, we were both sickened by the fumes that were eminated from the engine, and ended up taking our car everywhere, after the second or third attempt with the cart.

When I opened the seat and looked at the motor, it appeared that the exhaust pipe was right under the seat!! Is that typical of a gas cart??....Is there always an odor?? I can see definite advantages to a gas cart, but if getting sick is included in the mix, then it's not worth it. Are you all just getting used to the fumes, or did we have a bad cart??

Also, are the electric carts equipped with a solar charger, and would that extend the run time, as the cart would be charging much of the time it was being used?? Thanks
