We have two electric carts, both EZGO, that are ~7 and ~10-years-old. Other than a weird mishap—electric strike, flooding, etc.—they last a longggg time with nothing but replacement batteries every 4-6 years. In our 7 years of owning them, we've changed batteries once at the cost of $600 and $1000 (the former were Duracell from Sam's, the latter Trojan from a dealer). We bought one cart for $2k and the second for $2500, though the prices look to be closer to $4k now.

We can only use electric where we are, so I've not used gas, but I'm not sure I'd want the extra steps of getting fuel and engine maintenance rather than just plugging in every couple days and replacing batteries each half decade or so.

Using it every weekend and a couple of full weeks it has only used the gas it started with and 2 five gallon jug fill ups. So far it is very economical. I like it but I don't have much experience with the electric ones.
