There seems to be no escape. Gasoline has risen from low 2 dollar range to a new national average of $3.30 a gallon. Time to look at the electric golf cart? If cost of operation is a concern, then know this: Golf Cart Battery costs have risen about as fast as the price of gasoline.
Two years ago, we sold batteries for just under $100 each. Battery suppliers have raised prices over 6 times since then, today the same battery sells for $125.00.
If you are looking to buy a used electric cart, be sure to consider this cost in your buying decision. If you find a great deal, but end up buying new batteries a year later for $750, it may not have been such a good deal. Try to find carts that have just been re-batteried.
