Also, Fenney to SS and back is about 40 miles, what kind of electric cart are you driving that can't handle that distance? And how many of those trips do you intend to make?

Automakers are moving to electric cars because they are cheaper to operate. It's cheaper to drive X miles with a battery than the same distance with gasoline ($10-$15K cheaper over 15 years). Also, fewer moving parts with a battery. Electric engines are inevitable, whether you believe in climate change or not, and they are going to power lawn mowers and everything else.
Anyway, back to the OP, I believe part of his point was that if TV is going to continue to expand and profit, they ought to provide charging stations. TV is expanding right now well south of Fenney. However, new electric carts are claiming 100 mile ranges, so the range will become less of an issue over time.
