Some electric vehicle buffs were at the Voght street charge station and told us that there is another recent addition to the grid here in Merritt BC, Ca. This one is up the hill in the new area of highway development and about the big box stores.
Sun country sells chargers and accessories from home to commercial. They range from 25 amp to 90 amp. A source says that the 10 minute chargers in Texas can hurt the battery in your car if used regularly.
There seems to be a preference for the 90 amp charger on Voght street here in Merritt.
An adapter to the proprietary Sun country charger was in use here this week at the Vought street charger by a Sun Country rep ” its proprietary like apple” he said.

A source at the ministry says that there are sensors in the pavement at the street lights on highway 8 Nicola Avenue here in Merritt. The sensors will change the red light to green but you must be behind the painted stop line stopped to activate it, and not past it waiting to turn. He said that some lights have cameras that do the same thing but you can also be out of the field of view for them to work.
Some old street lights are on arbitrary timers as well.
