I have had one of each for 2 and a half years. Electric costs more, without any doubt. Those numbers may be off a little one way or the other, but not a lot. And I have never seen any cart with zero maintenance. Tires? Brake adjustment? Cleaning terminals? Replacing light bulbs?
However the difference in cost to operate should not be your deciding factor. At $10 a month delta, $120 a year, about $700 to $800 over the useful life? Get the one you like for the reasons you like. Both have good points and both have bad points. What you prefer to drive should decide and nothing else. Any other argument for one over the other has significant holes.
