When I was working I always used to charge at work so that I could get home.  Fortunately I had an office with a window that was adjacent to a decorative sidewalk which was not used by the public.

I have it plugged in here on the 10th floor of my building at work.

I had to install a tail tidy on the back of the SR to fit it in the freight elevator.

I have to lift up the rear wheel and slide it from side to side to get it through the serpentine hallway.

Full charge in about 5 hours.  I usually have 30% or so left when I arrive, that's for a 60 mile ride, mixed traffic conditions.

2014 SR 11.3

If you need to park it on the street so it doesn't roll, use a "grip lock" or an appropriately-sized clone.

Wanted to come back and say thank you on this one, I will add some take-a-ways too for anyone that searches the thread in the future. You all put my mind at ease, so I bought a thing, and its awesome.

Protomech hit the nail on the head.

Not being able to start the day fresh sucks, and not having the flexibility to charge for weekend riding sucks. No two ways around that.

I am lucky that I can throw a contractor grade extension cord out the window over the sidewalk and to a parking space. This doesn't upset my neighbors too much, and the management is rarely present on the weekends so it hasn't been an issue (at least in the first 7 days).

I will be adding a fast charger, just watching the ever changing world of quick chargers and weighing the options of how to void my warranty.

Here's photo plugged in at work, with the inverter off the 10kw array charging away. Thanks again to the internet I will post some more when I make changes to the bike. Or have more questions.

promotech has a good habit of doing that. When I see one of his posts I know we're in for some top notch analysis or some solid words of wisdom. [emoji4]
