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.

A close-up of the 6-20R receptacle in the side of the box. This is the same as the receptacle used
to connect to the plug behind the filler cap door on our car.
