Pro 1: Running Price
While they are more expensive to purchase, running an electric golf cart once you buy it is much cheaper than a gas powered one.

Con 1: Buying Price
Electric Golf carts are more expensive. While they’re great for the environment and always a great investment, people looking for a more affordable deal often purchase a gas cart simply because it’s what they can afford. However, a good thing about the newer electric carts is they come in many more shapes, colors and styles than the older gas powered ones do.

Pro 2: Environmentally Friendly
Buying an electric golf cart is a great way to decrease your carbon footprint. You can use it on the golf course, in your neighborhood, or just down the street to run to the store and never use a drop of gas.

Con 2: Time Consuming
The biggest con of an electric golf cart is the long and annoying re-charge process. Charging it overnight is easy enough, but if you use a lot of your power in a morning outing and want to go out again that afternoon then you will have to wait until you have enough power.

Pro 3: Quiet
The engines on electric golf carts are much quieter and softer than that of a gas powered one. They also drive much more smoothly, and repairs tend to be much cleaner to do than gas powered. The parts are probably newer and better mad, however, the parts are also often more pricey.

Con 3: Terrain
When going downhill, a gas powered golf cart fares much better than n electric one. This happens with a lot of electric vehicles because they lack the same compression that a gas vehicle does. The same goes for any rough terrain; while an electric cart will be a smoother ride, it may be a slower one as well.

Pro 1: Won’t Get Stranded
Gasoline is easily transportable, so as long as you have a gas can on your cart (which you always should) you’ll never be stuck without gas. For farmers or anyone who wants to have their cart to travel far distances on acres of land, gas is the only way to go. While electric cars are indeed more environmentally friendly, for long distances they’re simply not sensible.

Con 1: Hazards
There’s always the chance of a gas explosion during a collision in a golf cart. While collisions aren’t extremely common in this type of vehicle, if you’re buying the cart for off-course driving, you may want to look into the safety features.

Pro 2: Price
Gas Golf carts are often less expensive than electric golf carts. However, do not forget that you’ll still need to fill your golf cart with gasoline regularly, which we all know is not as cheap as it used to be.

Con 2: Pollution
A lot of people think because golf carts are so small and less fast, they don’t pollute like cars do. They do, however, contribute to pollution and you aren’t really doing the planet a favor by purchasing one.

Pro 3: Durability
Gas powered golf carts tend to last much longer than electric carts. They may not come in as many colors and varieties, but they are made of more durable materials and have longer-lasting engines and easily affordable parts. They also tend to handle hills and rough terrain more easily.

Con 3: Noise
Gas golf carts are, indeed, loud. The motors made for them make a noisy rumbling sound when they’re running, and they may even be a bit "bouncy" while idling. Carts may also get a bit messy when they drip gas or oil, so it’s recommended you keep a tarp underneath them in the garage.
