Not only for carts
1, DC fast chargers won't help lead acid charging and aren't necessary for the small li-ion batteries in carts. They can charge almost to full capacity in a short time with a standard 110 outlet using the on board charger. This is the smartest configuration for a village cart.
2. If there were available 110 outlets at in the parking lots near the restaurants or squares, it would benefit the lead battery carts if the drivers brought their own charger. But more so will be forward thinking for those cart owners who are also forward thinking by going with li-ion.
3. The cost of kw is low. The benefit to the villages would be less noise, less dirty exhaust from smelly gas carts, maybe less automobile traffic.
4. Perhaps an app or credit card system could be installed if the villages developer is hurting for revenue. Business owners may set up a "validation ticket" type system to provide a few watt-hrs to customers.
5. The most forward thinking idea would be to provide level 2 charging for electric vehicles, such as the Mustang Mach-e.
These chargers provide 30 miles of range per hr on the plug.
Sorry that I haven't thrown in any opinions - only facts and ideas.
