Has anyone seen an adapter that would allow the use of the 600 AVCON charging stations in California while we are waiting for Clipper Creek to upgrade them with their grant?
My understanding is that the AVCON conductive interface is compatible with the J1773 Level 2 except the connector. Apparently the 1KHz pilot signal technique used by AVCON is identical for Level 2 32A applications with J1773. This would mean that no electronics would be needed, just an AVCON receptacle in a NEMA box and the L1, L2, ground and pilot properly wired to the correct J1773 cable wires and to the connector. If one could buy an old AVCON receptacle, install it in the box, bring the J1773 cable with connector into the box and wire it correctly and you have an adapter.
Does anyone know of any problems other than the obvious electrical safety issues?
