Gas is much more economical and better for the environment than the batteries. You will be changing out those batteries every 2 yr. plus the constant maintenance. Also I worry it will catch on fire and burn down the house.

Yours may not smell to you or your passengers, but it does to those beind you, and your smell does linger in the tunnels. I know of NO ONE who has had to replace batteries after 2 years. My batteries are 4 years old and still going strong. I can drive pretty much all day, and charge overnight. If betteries are properly maintained they pose no greater fire danger than a gas cart.
I will add here that I do not have a solar charger, but I do have a Battery Minder, which I believe is helping extend the life of my batteries.
