Electric Golf Cart Pros and Cons
Is an electric golf cart right for you? It can be tough to know, especially if you’ve never owned an electric golf cart before.
The friendly staff at Arizona Ranch & Resort Cars are here to help! We gathered up the following pros and cons for this type of vehicle. If you want more information, reach out or stop by our dealership in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Pro: Reduced Maintenance
An electric golf cart won't need certain maintenance tasks, such as oil changes. It'll also need some tasks, like brake maintenance, less often.
Con: Refueling May Not Be as Convenient
A typical electric golf cart can be recharged by plugging it into a standard outlet. Depending on your housing situation, there may or may not be a convenient option for charging at home. If that’s not an option, you will have to find the nearest charging station. This could be an inconvenient trip depending on your location.
In other words, for some folks, recharging an electric golf cart can be a bit of a hassle compared to refueling a gas tank.
Pro: More Predictable Refueling Costs
The price of gasoline can change significantly from month to month. The cost of recharging an electric golf cart, on the other hand, will be much more consistent. This is much easier for your budget!
Con: The More Expensive Sticker Price
An electric golf cart will usually cost more to purchase. You can end up saving money in the long run, but that first purchase will be more expensive comparatively.
Pro: A Quieter Engine
Electric golf carts tend to run much quieter than their gas counterparts. This can help make for a more relaxing outing for all parties involved. While this alone may not be reason enough to buy an electric vehicle, it is a benefit to keep in mind.
