Not worried about gasoline mucking up the engine, it’s the ethanol in the gas that mucks things up. Just use ethanol free gas and will NOT have those type of worries.

The big problem with electric is you might be forced to talk to your wife.. Get a gas cart so you can't hear her.

Agreed...Club Car and EZGO gas are stupid loud. Yamaha Quietech is the only gas cart I would even consider.

Lithium batt/electric degrade is such a minor issue. The new tech is very stable and very long-lasting. Ours gets 80-100miles. And (per your comment) IF would lose 5% over 3 years (which is doubtful) that's 75-95 miles... Actually I would be thrilled with 50 miles... We never drive our cart over 25 miles in a day. Plug the cart into 100V garage outlet, into on-board charger, and in a few hours, it's 100%. Just like our EV car - always leave the garage with a 'full tank'. And virtually ZERO maintenance.

We are NOT "GREEN" in the least. The ONLY reason we decided to go batt/electric is the quiet, smoothness, no maintenance/ongoing costs, smell, etc. For us, it's perfect. To each their own....
