I do wish to share a couple of opinions.

Getting stranded in an electric cart is just as <cannot find a complimentary word> as it is in a gas cart. If you run out of volts it is like running out of gas. Not too <hmm stuck again>

Get a voltmeter for your dash, figure out what it means and you cannot get stuck because you ran out of "gas".

You can partially charge. Although not to be done everyday, it is OK on that occasional big day to load up some voltage without completing the charge. You get home from a day of golf at a remote course and lunch somewhere else. You can plug in the charger while you take a shower/nap and unplug before the charge completes.
All true and well said. If the fumes and noise of gas don't bother you, great. But I truly like quiet fresh air while on a ride.
