Have wrestled this issue a gazillion times. I'm now leaning back to electric. I asked the golf cart expert on this forum about his opinion on the top rated electric. I'm posting below his most informative reply.

"It is the opinion of most in the golf cart trade the CLUB CAR still has the high marks for electric carts.
That being said I must give the reasons for the high marks.

1- The open exposure of the electronic system with the diagnostic capacity that club car allows to most of the trade that has available equipment for field testing.

2-The aftermarket CLUB CAR products are both geared too and cost effective to the dealer and the consumer.

3-Kits available to satisfy all our Villager wants and needs with Club Car
seem to work out best.

Battery Conversions
AC motor & Controller Kits
Custom Body Kits, most mfg start with CLUB CAR models
Disc Brake Kits
Repairable battery chargers
Hydraulic Brake kits
Custom steering wheels
Tilted steering columns with returning signals
Wide choice of custom seats

And last but not least there are over forty independent service dealers that are ready and willing to work on Club Cars. And it is the most popular REMAND CART.

Thank you for asking an such a good question, I hope it helps.

Whichever way you go, gas or elecric, as you can tell from above that the make and model is another consideration you should consider. If repairs are difficult to perform, parts are expensive, and limited access to a competent are all things that will drive you crazy regardless of gas or electric.

Good luck with your decision.
