Looks to be 12A at 110 and 16A at 220?

Is yours the premium model with the 6KW charger? I assume not because:


120 x 12= 1,440 watts
120 x 16= 1,920 watts
240 x 12= 2,880 watts
240 x 16 =3,840 watts


I wonder if the  granny cable is different for the 6KW premium model or if it will only charge at 3KW when used from a 240 VAC outlet.

The same cable is provided with standard and premium models 3kW is the max you can charge with the stock cable and 240V outlet.

It requires a 3 phase connection to use the second 3kW charger, only the first 3kW one can be used on a single phase connection.

I see. But you can use one of these for 6 KW if you want 6KW home charging with a Premium model from an outlet.

This is only correct in the EU. The American models have all the chargers on the same phase, so three phase is not required.
You could easily get a different cable if you want to do 6kW, as DonTom suggests.

Yes. I wasn't too terribly concerned about the charging cable from the dealer, tho, since I have two Tesla HPWCs in the garage and bought a TeslaTap to charge the bike.

That is what I do as well. My Tesla wall Connectors are good for 11,520 watts (48 amps at 240VAC). I can charge my Zero SR at ~10KWs when at home, all from my 50 amp Tesla Tap.

Still not half as fast as my Energica will charge up while on the road!
