Walmart National City, 1200 Highland Ave, National City
I cruised down to Walmart in National City to see the latest Blink units. There are two units, an ADA unit and a regular unit, and they are in different rows. The non-ADA unit is at the west end of Row 3 in the parking lot. They just finished installing these units, so the signage is still to come. Because of that, the non-ADA unit was ICE'd...Shoot, I thought, a good time to whip out my bag of tricks with all the adapters and find a way to plug in...I used my J1772 extender adapter (from Modular EV Power) to convert the Blink J1772 to a NEMA 14-50 and then proceeded to use a twist-lock extension cord over to my upgraded cordset to plug in for awhile....Worked like a charm. The store manager came out while I was charging and said she was anxious to see someone use the charging station. So I explained all about the LEAF, not only to her, but to others that were curious. I guess the long extension cord got some attention....On to our next stops....
