Electric certainly has its place.
My SIL who runs a golf course says the battery golf carts are perfect for the job, low maintenance, and reliable.
Of course juice is fairly cheap here in middle Indiana.

I’d love to get an electric side-by-side rather than gas powered. For riding around on my 32 acres it would be ideal, especially since I could keep it charged with a single solar panel, that I already have. But they are seriously expensive.

How are your distribution lines?
How loaded are your substations and transformers?
What size are your conductors?

I work in electrical distribution, this is total BS right now.
We can’t even keep up with heavy contractor presence and tons of OT.
Also, our force is old, and youth don’t find linework appealing.

“Electric certainly has its place.”

They do. On a golf course, at a garden center & nursery. In a city.

Do the environmental goobers appreciate the irony of electric cars in Indiana, where 53% of the electricity in the state is produced by coal fired generators (and 8 of the 10 largest generating stations are coal fired)?
