My rule of thumb is:

If Gatorade tastes bad, you don't need it--drink water instead.

Once you get to where you need those electrolytes, Gatorade
tastes pretty good.

When I used to run long distance, I would buy Gatorade until I looked at
the ingredients. Potassium is the only electrolyte listed. I switched to
plain water and eat a banana.

Sodium is also an electrolyte, one that's easily lost through sweating.

That applies to all those sport drinks and other special drinks. You
pay for a bit of hype and marketing, not for the content.
