EZ GO Elite Lithium
Everyone seems to really love their Yamaha Quietech EFI gas engines. It seems to be the go to choice. I have read the many threads about the gas vs electric debate. Does anyone have an EZ GO Elite Lithium electric and can you offer a review? Thank you in advance.

I took one for a 50+ mile test drive. Loved it! Battery pack was only depleted by about 25% after 50 miles. It was almost back to 100% after 1 hour of charging. The one I drove had the 125 amp battery pack. Reason for not buying? Price! About $5,000 more than a gas, equipped the same. The Villages Golf Cart dealership wouldn't budge on the price. There are 2 other battery pack choices. Not sure of the cost.

The Elite 4.0 with 120ah lithium battery should get you 55 miles per full charge. You can get a base model Elite 4.0 for about $11.5K elsewhere.
Club Car and Yamaha should have their Lithium carts out this Spring so there should be some price completion. |

Another option is the new Smart Cart with a Toyota motor and lithium batteries. I understand that they are about $10,000 completely deck out for The Villages.

I would also be concerned on cost of battery replacement. No garrentee they will last as long as recommended. I sure after warranty is out the resale price drops like rocket. Gas engine will last lifetime if you change the oil and do regular preventive maintenance. I have never worn out gasoline engine. Unlike batteries you will be replacing them.

Gas engines fail much more often than electrics are more expensive to maintain and more expensive to repair or replace.
