I love my golf cart! I'd think it'd be great if we saw electric vehicles mature and become a primary source of transportation.

I've noticed one weird thing...check out the price of a used Nissan Leaf, like an 2011 or 2012. They are very cheap ~$12K and predicted to be 40-50% cheaper in the next year.

If I can get a Leaf to mess with for $7K next year I may consider it. Heck, a nice used golf cart is $3-4K, why not get a car for a few bucks more!

No, it will not replace my Boxster S (or Alfa Spider, or M Roadster).

No kidding on the price of used Leafs. Mighty tempting. The turn off for many is the need for a 220v hookup at home. Problem here in Phoenix is that their range when its hot is goes way down.

Not interested in the slightest in electric cars.
