Karmann doesn't normally charge in public, but decided to try out the new Envision Solar EV Charger in downtown Shasta Lake, California.

Equipped with one Level II J1772 charge cord and a GFI 120 volt outlet, the Envision Solar EV Charger is centrally located on the main drag of town (Shasta Dam Blvd.).


Karmann normally charges using 120 volts, so she plugged in and tasted solar charging for the first time.  Now to find a way to move this thing closer to the shop, so she is out of the sun, but charging from sunshine.

Now to convince the City that Level III Fast Charging is the game changer.  Of course I have been telling them that for years.  I guess this will have to do for now.  EV4U offered free Level II charging at our shop for years.
