A North Florida-based golf cart dealership is my business. Both electric and gasoline powered golf carts are sold and serviced by us. We repair more electric-powered golf carts than we do gas. We see around 100 electric golf carts for every one gas-powered in our service area. It’s not because electric cars are more reliable and need less maintenance.
Our location is the reason behind this mass disparity. North Florida is where we are. Flat without hillsNorth Florida. Florida is also a state that has had a lot of success. “go green” friendly. Gas powered golf carts are not in high demand on the less hilly greens. The battery charger is included with all electric golf carts.

One customer disagreed with us and paid for the charger’s repair. He continued his journey. A few months later, he wanted his charger warranty renewed. It was the same thing that happened the second time we had to repair his charger. It was likely that one of the bigger demons attacked the board and hit it so hard it literally tore off a few components.
After Talk and showHe explained to us that another power surge/spike had done the damage. We paid him and he bought a surge protection. Since then, I haven’t seen his charger.. It was the one he purchased. He called me from one the large box stores, asking about one the protectors that he had been looking at to see if they would be suitable for his charger. Learn and live.My mom used to tell me that not everyone learns the right way. You have to hit them twice before you can teach them to duck.
