Keeping up with the neighbors has a whole new meaning in light of Uncle Sam's generous Federal Tax Credit offered to those who purchase a qualifying electric golf cart on or before December 31, 2009.

The credit provides for between $2,500 and $7,500 depending upon the type of battery used in the LSV (low speed vehicle). Many states are offering an additional credit on top of the Federal Tax Credit making the deal even more enticing, and in some cases, practically free.

Although traditional golf carts are not actually covered by the credit, many of the models available look like golf carts, but are actually better equipped for jetting around your neighborhood complete with lights and rear view mirrors.

On average, they can go between 15 and 25 miles per hour and can travel between 30 and 40 miles before needing to be recharged.

There is no limit on the number of electric cars that one can buy, and to qualify you must purchase the vehicle on or before December 31, 2009.

The only caveat is that the LSV must be federally approved or it will not qualify for the credit. We have the list that tells you how to bring joy to your holiday season.

What are the insurance issues on these things. In Minnesota, if they aren't licensed you will have a problem on your auto issuance and your homeowners may cover. I would be concerned about children on these things also.
