Based on my experience: 2-seater electric cart, upgraded bucket seats, plug in every night.
I like the zero maintenance of the electric cart with no need to go to a gas station. I plug mine in every night and have about a 60mile range in the morning. 60 miles is about four hours which is longer than I want to spend in a cart seat anyway.
The upgraded seats are just really nice.
We only bought 2-seater carts. These fit into our garage better than a 4-seater and feel more comfortable when we are driving them by ourselves. If we have company then we have a cart for our guests to use and we can split up and go separate directions if we want. Yes, two 2-seaters are far more expensive than a single 4-seater but it is much better suited for our needs/desires.
Electric cart vs hybrid auto: The cart is fun to drive. I don't golf but own two carts so we don't have to argue over who gets stuck with the car. If you need a financial argument, the cart will cost less initially and likely last longer than the car (much lower lifetime cost), the cart will cost less to maintain than the car (lower yearly cost), and the cart will cost 3-5 times less per mile than an efficient hybrid vehicle (lower per-mile cost).
