Like Bill said:
Cost of infrastructure - Someone has to pay for the wiring, the outlets, the repair of the outlets, and the electricity

Metering and return on investments - Unless this is paid for through our amenity fees (and what an argument that would cause) then some form of metering would need to be put in place so that users can pay for the benefit and the electricity. Will the metering accept cash? Will it accept cards? Who will pay to collect the cash and maintain the equipment. How much will need to be charged to pay for both the initial equipment, the electricity, the maintenance, and the unproductive time when a charged cart is just taking up space?

Electricity is cheap, difficult to get a ROI from $3 charges.
