Avcon adaptor This box is an adaptor that I built to permit use of conductive (Avcon) public chargers. The Avcon receptacle in the lid is connected to a 6-20R receptacle on the side which matches the plug on the side of the car and on our extension cord. |

The home-made Avcon converter box. The Avcon receptacle is $175 + shipping from Meltric Corp. See the relevant flyer here. It's the version including the pilot circuit which tells the Avcon unit that there is a vehicle attached. The box is plastic, from a local electrical supply store, with a hole cut in the lid to match the Avcon receptacle and a circular hole in the side for a 6-20R receptacle. |
