I think I recall someone telling me the electric carts must be charged on a dedicated circuit just like the heater/AC unit is on it's own circuit. Is that correct information?

Do I need to hire an electrician to rewire the outlet in my garage to charge my golf cart so it is on a dedicated circuit?

Thanks.
It should be on its own circuit. Down here they allow the same circuit to also power the garage door opener, if those are the only two items on it.
