Forest Lake Ford

Of its 6 ports, 4 are DC fast and 2 are Level 2. DC fast ports deliver direct current straight to the battery and are the ones used for quick stops on longer trips.

The registry lists 2 connector types: J1772, the standard Level 1/2 AC connector; CCS, Combined Charging System — the J1772-based DC fast connector. The site is listed as a public site location.
