It seems that The Village Golf carts stores push the gas carts to customers by saying how "The Villages is growing larger all the time & you will want the range of a gas cart". I wonder if there is a dealer incentive to push gas carts.
I have a 2011 Yamaha electric with a 55-60 mile range. Think about it, I average a little less than 14 MPH, that's about 4 hours of steady driving in the cart. I really don't want to spend any more than that in a golf cart & you can easily drive the length of The Villages in an hour. I usually drive mine 350-400 miles per month. Never had a problem. I think that time in the seat is more important than distance. I'm in Buttonwood & Brownwood is 1/2 mile further than LSL for me. If you like electric, stick with it, ignore the naysayers.
