Be careful if you have an electric cart with the new lithium batteries. Don’t leave it plugged in overnight under any circumstances! Yesterday we had fire engines galore up and down Barley Path because of a cart’s batteries catching fire. Electric carts are very dangerous. Be cautious with your new toys, all the bugs are far from worked out.

It would be interesting to know what brand and year the cart was. Might even have been a DIY job, which is scary.

Will wait to see information from the fire department.
Still have not had my house burn down while leaving my lithium cart plugged in more than 400 out of the last 456 nights.

I had an old petrol lawn mower burst into flames once however, that's when I learned that filling the tank with engine running was a not the best way of time saving time! |

E Z Go, Samsung lithiums for cart batteries. Interesting though, is that a 2023? Sad to see the family car got it along with the house too. Hope insurance covers all. Wish them the best.

Taillights and fender flare make it look like an Evolution cart.
