Gas vs Battery golf cart advice

Looking to buy a golf cart, will be parked in garage. Something that will only be used to ride around in the neighborhood. Won’t be bringing it anywhere.
Want a small one the can ride 4 people.
What’s the pros cons of battery vs gas golf carts? And the money difference.

Battery is way to go for this in my opinion. Quiet, plenty of power, and you just have to maintain/charge the batteries.
Maintenance is really just keeping them filled with distilled water and ensuring the connections are tight and corrosion free about once a month

As long as you use it and buy club car or better, electric is ideal.
Edit. Brain fart. Electric.

gas is a little louder
you have to replace batteries every 2-5yrs and it's between 500-900 to do so.
I'd rather have gas.

Gas vs Battery golf cart advice
I have a club car battery with Trojan batteries. Nothing wrong with it and its great. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone with gas. They aren't very loud, anyway.

What’s the price difference?

I’m totally new to this, club car is a brand?
Posted on 3/11/21 at 10:37 am to WeenieWater Martini
Yes.
I have a precedent that was great until I let it sit up for the past few years.

If I ever get another, it will be gas for sure. I had an electric and the batteries went bad twice and I rarely missed a weekly maintenance on them. My buddy has had a gas for 6 years and has done nothing outside of routine maintenance and it still runs perfectly. I know others with similar experiences with gas. While they may be louder than electric, they aren't that loud.

I'm not a 100% sure, but I would say 1-2k more than likely

My work has about 30 gas carts, they are abused everyday with very little maintenance. The one with the most miles has been here since Katrina and still running strong, the body and seats haven't lasted as well as the motor. Unless I was looking for Ultra Quiet I would go with gas.

Electric. No gas to worry about, just pull in the garage and plug it in.
Posted on 3/11/21 at 11:17 am to WeenieWater Martini
I’ve have both and perfect gas by a long shot. I live in Orange Beach, and during tourist season I won’t get in my truck on the weekends, we take the golf cart everywhere. Yes gas is louder, but I prefer the peace of mind knowing that I can just pull in to a gas station a fill up the tank if I am out and about and get low on fuel. Can’t really do that with electric.

I have an electric golf cart with Trojan batteries. Really like it. I have the watering system to make it easier to water the batteries. Well worth the $100.
Club Cart is the Cadillac of golf carts. Yamaha is high quality as well. Both are about $1-2k more than generic manufacturers (which is what I have)

Which would you prefer at a deer lease?
Posted on 3/11/21 at 12:22 pm to SouthboundTiger
I’d start looking at a lifted electric Yamaha if for a deer lease. Electric = quiet. Lifted give you clearance over rough terrain. I view Club Car as more for a high end residential use
I have a Bentilli golf cart. It’s an “off brand” but gets the job done. The cart is not lifted and only sees pavement & gravel roads. 2 years old with 60 hours and looks & runs brand new
