I own a gas cart and have not experienced the smelly garage syndrome some talk about. Yes sometimes I smell emissions, but it is not that bad. I have smelled worse emissions. lol

But, back on topic. I think if someone could come up with the land/space and the power requirements feeding off some system to be monitored and billed properly to that owner, it would be a very good investment! The trick is finding the proper place to "park the carts" near businesses, entertainment in the squares, and other areas where the space and cost is at a premium.
If so possible, maybe 4 charging stations available. Charge maybe $1.00+ for 15 minutes of use. Maybe make it like a parking meter. Put in debit card, or a card they purchased from the business with monies on it. There would have to be a way to not have someone monopolize the system for their personal usage. If it was cost prohibitive accept for emergencies and quick charge to get further, that should help! Let's see.... Usage at avg 12 hours per day * $4 per hour is $48 per day = $17,500 * 4 stations = $70k per year. Less rental space and utility cost and maintenance. Still a good payback scenario. Anyone want to sell some land in those spots?
