It is confusing at first. Gas versus electric. What brand to buy. Where to buy. At first, when we first bought our house two years ago and were snowflakes, we rented a gas and then an electric. I do not like the smell or sound of gas.
We are fulltime in TV and now have a 2012 Yamaha electric custom 4-seater from The Villages Golf Cart Store and a used 2005 electric Yamaha two-seater. Both our carts have 8-six volt batteries.
Nothing to it. No gas to store. No going to the gas station. The only thing we have to do is check the distilled water in the batteries every few months. We have our charges positioned so that we plug them in when we pull into the carport and golf cart garage.
We can go anywhere in TV that you can get to in a cart and get back home without any problems. We go, go, go. Believe me. We take them everywhere. We live on the historic side and cross the golf cart bridge across 466 nearly everyday. No problems.
We bought our used cart for $2400 and our new cart was...well, not $2,400. To me, one isn't better or worse than another. It just depends on what you like. I like the ease and quietness of the electric.
