It also went to explain that the average amount of power consumed is consistent with the following formula:

120 volts x 4 amps x 00hours= xxx watt-hours

Is it safe to assume that a golf cart draws an average of 4 amps per hour while charging?
Are you trying to figure out a question I recently had running thru my head....how much more energy efficient is a golf car over a small fuel efficient car---dollars to mile driven theory. How much does it cost to recharge a cart for 10 hrs. and drive for 35 miles or so.
