Charging our golf carts is simple. Each cart comes with a charging cable that plugs into any standard 110V electrical outlet. To charge, just connect the cable to the cart and plug it into the outlet. It typically takes 6-8 hours to reach a full charge, depending on the battery level.

However, if you’re unable to charge it beforehand, you can drop off the cart 4 hours earlier than your scheduled time, and we’ll take care of the charging for you.
