There was a time when all golf courses had electric carts and then switched to gas so they could get more rounds per cart. Can't tell you how many times I had to call a pro shop to bring a new cart because I ran out of power. Today, golf courses are switching back to electric as the technology has improved including range....Plus it's quiet. Today's carts have ranges that can be 50 - 80 miles depending on size and quantity of batteries (marketing hype included), electric has less moving parts, is quiet, keeps the gas odors out of your garage and provides a pleasant ride. I suspect the traveling farther isn't an issue....not sure anyone wants to ride a cart for 50 miles regardless how comfortable the seats are. If you go from Brownwood to SS and back, that's probably a 35 mile trip (who does that), add 4 miles for a round of golf and you still have range left. Pull into your garage, plug it in and go the bed. Technology moves forward but sometimes it takes perception a while to catch up. Oh yeah, we have two electrics...a ParCar and a StarEV on order so I am a tad biased.
