b. There's an enormous difference between lead-acid batteries typically used in golf carts and lithium ion batteries used in electric cars.

Also - as I said in my OP, I'm perfectly fine with amortizing the car down to $0 in 5-6 years so frankly, so long as the battery isn't degraded at purchase, I really don't see an issue with battery life.
