[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3573382, member: 5412"] My earlier comments about the cost of battery replacement, etc actually came from some research we have been doing on golf carts. There are electric battery powered models and there are gas engine models. When we do extended stays at RV parks we typically rent a golf cart to do short hops around the areas where they are legal to be on the street. In talking to folks that own them and have owned both in the past. Every one prefers the gas engine models. The engine stops when letting off the gas, like some of the new full size auto's. The issue is keeping it for a length of time and having to replace the batteries on the electric models. The gas engine ones are like the energizer bunny and keep running while battery life degradation occurs every time one is charged. I fully understand that the batteries used in golf carts are different than those used in EV's, but that concern still stands with the new technology. [/QUOTE]
