We had a similar experience while renting a few years ago. Rental came with a gas cart and like you, we found it very stinky, loud and rattled a lot compared to our elec back in Georgia. We bought a new elec when we moved down for those very reasons. Our elec will only get about 60 to 65 miles on a charge, but so far that has not been a problem. As a matter of fact, I have never seen ours below the half way mark. However, if money is a concern, I do hear a lot about the Gas being less expensive over the long term, i.e. 10 years or so. For us spreading even a few thousand dollars over 10 years for the convenience of clean quiet comfort was a no brainer.
