I know there are other considerations for a selection but strictly from a financial aspect, has anyone conducted a cost effectiveness study over a 5 year period of time to ascertain whether it is cheaper to get a gas or electric golf cart.
I have a 2012 EZ-G0 with the 6x8 upgrade. $15 per month is a very good estimate as far as battery replacement in four years, but does not count in the homes electric bill. I have a new cottage and charge mine daily and my bill for a month was $65 so I'd have to say it's cheap to maintain and much more convenient than gas.

The best electrics are the ones with AC motors. No noise or gas fumes and if you get hit you're not sitting on top of five gallons of gas with little protection. After the election you'll see inflation again and $5.00 gas is not far off.

My post was to answer your question and it will be shot at by those gas guys that refuse to accept any other option, so ignore them and I hope I helped.
