When you think about it neither are very fuel efficient for the weight and size of the cart and engine. I'm old school and like carb. due to the simplicity of the fuel system and would be able to do some of maintenance. Carb system is simple, tank, vacuum pump (some just gravity feed), filter and carb. No elect fuel pump, no computer fuel management system, no sensors. Now if I had choice and which ever was better deal I would probably go ACDC. But to pay 2 grand extra NAAA I wouldn't.
IMO only thing Gas has over electric is more miles freedom from the plug. IMO both are costly to maintain over years of service. Gas carts: course gas, oil changes, and maybe engine after 7 to 10 years or more. Electric carts, Battery maintenance and big cost close to about every 5 years are the batteries. But, I suspect ( haven't researched it) the elect. cart over time would be cheaper to maintain if mile per mile cost comparison could be obtained. Battery maintenance vs. Gas and oil changes and of course it the owner can do most of the pre-ventive maintenance. If not then cost would be a lot higher IMO.
