Site Description: 2 blocks east of the 5, turn right into the Costco parking lot from Palomar Rd. Directly across from the Famous "Flower Fields" and Lego Land.
Charger Description: Two Gen 2+ (small paddle) chargers in the parking lot next to the food court and tire center at the southeast side of the building.
What to do while waiting: Pea Soup Anderson's and a Hadley's are one block away. There is an excellent Greek Food resturant across from Hadley's, a European Deli, and a great Produce Market where I spent $20 just on produce! Great strawberries and Corn! The deli next to it has an impressive array of fresh and smoked meats! Take a cooler!!
Charger supply voltage: 208
Notes: This is one of my standard stops going to or coming from San Diego. Hadley's is a deal. Free samples of food,Restroom and phones... a salesman's dream!
