A salesman ONLY sells what's in stock!! If he has a showroom full of gas carts, then they are the best and electrics are junk. Same goes for a salesman that has a showroom of electrics.

I have an 2010 EXGO RXV with 10,700 miles on it. Other than a battery replacement last year, the cart has been maintenance free. I have purchased a Battery Minder which will help add longevity to the battery pack by de-sulfurizing the batteries. I have the 4/12 volt configuration, which as mentioned in earlier posts, is the set-up with the least range. More batteries = greater range.

If you are not mechanically inclined, an annual service on a gas cart will cost you approx. $130 per year. Belt replacement approx. $100. When you look at a battery replacement every 4-5 years on average, maintenance costs between a gas and electric is close to the same.
