Odd! "Ask EV Car to start climate control" works for me (yay). But "Ask EV Car to get location" never works: it instead replies "I missed what you said. Say it again?" or "What was that?"

The Missassauga location is moving this weekend to a temporary location, which is much bigger. I was told they hope to move to their final location for end of year. Update: The new (temporary) location is 420 Ambassador Dr, Unit B in Missassauga.

I have been charging using a UMC for 1.5 years now and it is pretty solid at 40A. Your UMC may be faulty but I wouldn't write them all off.
