Comments:
1/24/04: Changed status to down, added IWT.
1/24/03: New problems, per Ed Thorpe and Bruce Parmenter, Avcon needs repair, and is on 30A service instead of 40A. 14-50 outlets on MCS-600 are breakered for 20A, should be 40A. . This site is very close to DOWN status, useful to very few EV drivers in its present state.
12/18/02:: EVI Avcon charger was vandalized and isn't functional. 14/50 plug worked with my portabalized EVII charger. Reported broken charger to EVII, which is pursuing repair. -- Marc Geller
