Electric carts need to be recharged each night which requires a standard electric outlet and battery charger (provided). We can also supply an extension cord if needed. They are quiet and can go about 15 miles on a full charge. If you will be driving the cart a lot, we recommend charging them anytime you are not using them. Gas carts are louder, but come with a full tank of gas that will last about 100 miles and does not have to be refilled at the end of the rental. Gas carts also handle hills better.
