Charger description: Two wall chargers in the main underground parking garage on the P-1 (green) level just left of the main (not emergency) hospital entrance. Go down the entrance ramp, follow the path to the left and the chargers will be on your right.

What to do while waiting: Outside the hospital, not much.
Note: Exercise caution when coming down the ramp into the garage. An island at the bottom of the ramp divides traffic into two lanes, and it's in deep shadow on a sunny day.
ICEing: Never encountered.
Charger supply voltage: 208
