No prob.  I believe Century City Mall used to have L2 J1772 charging stations but those went away when Coda's store closed.  See http://priuschat.com/threads/charging-in-century-city-shopping-center.119553/#post-1705576.


http://evseupgrade.com/images/categories/outlet-types.png has a pic of various outlet types.  Most of this stuff is almost Greek to me.  http://shop.teslamotors.com/products/universal-mobile-connector-adapters might help too (ignore the fact that it's Tesla for now, just look at the chart in the lower right).


BTW, do NOT attempt to feed a stock (unmodded) L1 EVSE w/200+ volts via adapters.  You WILL damage it and let out the "magic smoke" (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/M/magic-smoke.html).  If you care, see http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=246513#p246513.  (That was a meeting where the Leaf's Chief Vehicle Engineer, Kadota-san was present along w/a bunch of senior Nissan folks + Nissan engineers from Japan.)


Also, I'd be wary of charging at 120 volts using the stock L1 EVSE in unsecured/public locations, unless you can secure it.  It might get stolen and it is NOT cheap (somewhere over $500) to replace.  Even if you can secure it, a determined thief (esp. a copper thief) might cut the cable.


Semi-OT:  That Priuschat thread mentioned SPI and Avcon being gone.  If you're curious about them, see the pic on the right side of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_station#Smart_grid_communication, http://www.evnut.com/charge_paddle_adapter.htm, http://www.evnut.com/charge_adapter_avcon.html and http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=5925.  They're old standards that are useless on currently sold EVs anyway, at least w/o adapters.
