I spoke to two electricians and both said it would be better if the golf cart charger was using its own circuit. I'll probably have that done.
I did check my lamp post outlet by running a 1600 Watt hair dryer for 5 minutes with all the lights on in the house. I don't know which circuit the lamp post is on but none of the breakers tripped with my hair dryer test.
I'm going to use the lamp post and the exterior outlet on the garage side of the house. Neither of those outlets are on the same circuit with the golf cart charger. I feel safer doing it this way until I can get an electrician to put the outlet I use to charge the golf cart on its own circuit.
To the person who charges an electric car on the same circuit as a couple of other items......that's great!!!
Thanks to all who responded to my thread. Your input is much appreciated.
