Gas and electric golf carts are both great options, it really just depends on a few factors and personal preference. A common misconception about electric vs. gas golf carts is that the electric cart will cost you more to maintain because batteries are expensive. This is incorrect, in fact, the operating cost of the gas and electric carts are essentially the same, the only real difference is the gas cart will cost you in oil changes, belts, fuel and filters, while the electric golf cart will require that the batteries get replaced every couple of years (5-7 years on average). If you crunch the numbers, it’s basically a wash on costs.
