"After seeing the charging station suggestion I'm really, really surprised I've never seen that come up before. Seems like the perfect place for it. Maybe it has come up here and I've just never noticed it. I've literally never seen one used in other places but am 100% certain they would be used to a significant level in TV."

Outback Steakhouse has free electric cart charging at their restaurant on Hwy 441.

Funny story but true - Last year, Mrs. Buggy had not checked our cart for power level before taking it to Colony. It was not even 1/3 full and she ran out of power on the way home. She was able to get to our mail station in Glenbrook and it stopped completely out of power. Mrs. Buggy called me; I took the charger and a long extension cord and went there and plugged in the cart and Mrs. Buggy took the car home.

After several people had asked me what happened and why was I charging at the mail station, I said to one lady that it was cheaper to use the Villages electricity rather than my own. She believed me and really got upset at me using free electricity. I 'fessed up and she laughed. After about 45 minutes, I was charged enough to get the cart home.
