DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Anyone have any info on the melted golf cart sitting by the 700 loop last night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Saw it on FB yesterday. They said it was a rental. I'm curious if gas or electric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Someone said on FB that it was electric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just for safety info I have a friend that their golf cart caught fire and was parked next to their 5th wheel which of course set the camper on fire, they got out safely but camper & cart was a total loss, no they did not have it on charge while parked but the batteries were not stock they came out of a wrecked Chevy Volt and he feels that was the cause of the fire. Sorry if I gave everyone here something else to worry about but CRAP happens!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaffecv 12 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Electric carts have a higher fire risk than gassers. One loose battery cable can get hot enough to get the rubber coating to start burning. Even when turned off and being charged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True, when I was a kid me and my dad were riding his friends electric cart and it caught fire while we were driving it. It was kind of funny because a guy we were driving past says excuse me sir but your cart is on fire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
