As info -I did have a home inspection before my 1 year warranty was up on the house and the home inspector said we had the golf cart plugged into the wrong plug in garage. We have an Amarillo ranch and he said to plug the cart into the outlet on right garage wall because it has a dedicated circuit breaker.
This is something that really needs some light shed on it.

Circuit breakers should break the circuit if they are overloaded. Electric one oh one.

Dedicated circuit breaker (!!??) should be marked. We have a gas cart, so I really didn't know about needing to plug an electric cart in the right plug. I think I will email The Villages again and link this thread. I hope that many of you will do the same.
