Why should we pay for your energy. You're not paying for my gas.

Charging stations
 

I think the charging stations are a great idea.

That's the issue.............is it 35 miles, or is it 50 miles, or only 28 today. That's the worry. :MOJE_whot:

You’re not wrong. What am I going to do for xx period of time while my electric cart charges?

I use my electric cart for local trips and golfing, and if I’m going to go a certain distance, I’ll take our gas cart.

And if it’s raining or cold, I take my car.

What about taking extra charged batteries with you? To extend the range or as back up.

Have a TiKi bar with entertainment at these "charging stations":coolsmiley::coolsmiley:

:ohdear: You do know an 8 volt Trojan Battery weights more than 60 lbs. and a 48 volt cart takes 6 of them..... right? Do the math. :icon_wink:

Bad Idea I can get as far as I want with my Electric!
 

My Electric cart can get me as far as I want to go without any problem. I have no need or wouldn't want to spend the time recharging at some public charge station. When I get my next electric cart it will be lithium like more and more autos will be. But if you want for some reason to go from the north end to the south end by golf cart (not a clue why you would want to do that but what ever ) - think about a getting a gas cart they will become a real bargain as they start depreciating more as more Villagers see the light (no noise or smell, smooth and go as far as 90% of the Villagers want to go) and convert to Electric cart and sell their gas carts. Hopefully they will still be selling gas in the near future!:pray:
Oh did I mention I have no bias or preconceived ideas so everything I pontificate can be taken as gospel !

How about gas stations?
 

Why don't they also put in free gas stations as well? They(?) can afford it.

I'm just wandering if you go faster than the legal speed limit how much more does that drain your batteries? I'm used to seeing Teslas doing the speed limit or less on the interstates that aren't in metropolitan areas.

The power required to overcome air resistance goes as the cube of the velocity. Small increases in speed can result in a large increase in the amount of power needed. The difference between going 60 mph and 70 mph is about 1.6x.

I was thinking of lithium batteries the vending machine does the lifting for you. These batteries are available for other vehicles like boats as well.

Why wouldn't you all think about public electric transportation! After all it's already in place in most of the areas that you moved from. Humble yourselves and ride a bus! It won't kill you! Talk about relieving congestion! Wow what a great idea!

Won't work because electric carts use multiple types of charging connections. Plus they take hours to charge.

I agree, but who wants to ride 50 miles in a bumpy cart, get in a car, save the cart ride for shorter trips.
