well not really, rust is one thing battery acid is another.
I think you may have meant it looks like a rust stain.
but as you said "Stains left from battery acid on concrete, brick, driveways, and sidewalks, will look like a rust stain (reddish-orange in color), but in fact they are burns caused by the acid in the battery. "
Rust is composed of iron oxides, not present in a battery
bottom line is such a stain shouldn't happen and in likely does not to normally maintained cart.
But if it did Pour chlorine bleach into a spray bottle. Spray affected area until completely covered and let it set for a five minutes. Scrub battery acid stains with a hard bristle brush. If the stain remains, spray on another application of bleach and let it set longer.
No more stain, this is not a reason not buy a elec cart IMO.
HOw about the gas that goes on the ground when you fill up your cart or on the under Carrier, nothing is perfect.
Further gas carts also have a battery
Gas carts have a single battery that doesn't have to be refilled and charged over and over and over which cause the spills and boil overs.
Sure they do as well as car batteries, it happens.

You made that statement before, there is the same risk gar or elec, if you don't look at the gas gauge in a gas cart or the battery gauge in an elec.
The % of charge will tell you how many miles to go on an elec as a gas gauge.
One last point "what about your carbon footprint"
Elec wins hands down, much better greener than gas.
