You cant connect anything to the key switch on electric carts. The switch only gets supply power from the controller, connecting anything else to the switch can toast your controller.

I've always just used a separate switch for the converter. I switch the 48v side so there is no parasitic draw.
There's probably a way to have the converter turn on/off with the key switch, but you can't hook directly to the switch.
