If I were crass enough to be labeling others as idiots, I'd be sure of exactly what I typed so as to not make an idiot of myself!

Thank you so much for letting me know I am an idiot. As long as they make gas golf carts and gas cars I will continue being an idiot. I refuse to own an electric car or golf cart.
I couldn't imagine wanting to go on a cross country trip and having to find a place to plug in an electic car .. not to mention the time it would take to charge your batteries.

After almost 4 years on this forum I have acquired a list of posters to ignore. Add 1 more to the list! How can you post on a Villages forum and call us idiots? That's "questional (sic)"

Good idea! If you read his/her past posts you'll find more than one questionable posts!

when you can't forward a reasonable argument, insults are the next best thing!-- grow up.
I forgot I had this and I think it is interesting to this thread. It is a range test I did last year using the same cart, a 2002 Club Car DS. One test was done with a battery pack consisting of 6-8 volt batteries in the cart and the second test was done with a pack consisting of 8-6 volt batteries. In each case I ran pack until state of charge was around 48.4 volts (50%).

You are welcome. I hope to redo that test with one year old batteries to see how far they have degraded. You cannot go wrong with Gas or electric as it is really a blast cruising The Villages. Only the people that follow you will notice your choice
It just hit me that no one has mentioned which (gas vs electric) is worth more money after 4 years of use. It appears to me that a gas cart holds its value more than an electric. This could be that if someone is getting rid of an electric cart around that time it probably needs new batteries.
I do have a friend who buys and sells used carts in The Villages and he pays more for gas carts than electric because the resale demand leans towards gas.
If you were buying a car one of the first things you look at is resale value.
