The dealer is the only one who can update your Energica.
it should be free.
If something tanks in the process, they'll need to 'redo' it essentially, and it takes a special reader etc etc to do.
If THEY F your bike up, it's on them to get it unbricked.
If YOU F it up,all bets are off.
On the tesla's. You will need an adapter to go from a tesla charging cable to a CCS1 port.
The adapters are already available, just check E bay. They DO work for the destination chargers. I have one
The main reason they don't work for the super chargers is because you as a non tesla person have no way to turn the thing on, (I believe it talks using near field RFID) directly to your car when you pull up, or bluetooth or some sort of comms.
I am thinking that when you get the dongle to convert the tesla cord to a ccs1 cord to plug into your bike for charging, your phone will be needed to give the signal to the charger to turn it on, since there is nothing radiating on your bike that can do that. Unless energica turns their bluetooth back on, in the bike like the older ones, if it even still exists!
Either way, having more places to charge is always a good thing.
Many times now I been planning a trip of a few hundred miles or so and so many of the chargers are either tesla super chargers - currently unusable. or J plugs, - takes HOURS to charge, so not really a good match. It will be really good if they can open these S chargers up for us.
on that though, is 75 Amps the max the bike will take still for charging? It'd be great if we could push 100 amp, and maybe get a charge in ... in around half an hour. that's .. in theory 20 to 80 percent charge, in say half an hour. Each persons use model is going to be different. Maybe Energica can do something where like a microwave oven, it starts out at a very high power and trickles down as heat builds. If it's cool start it at 100 amps and bring it down as temps rise. If it's already running warn because it's august in florida, ok fine, then start it at it's 75 or 60 amps or whatever. But having the ability to charge faster would be an awesome boost for the Energica Brand name. when you look at the amps this bike can pull off the battery continuous, supposedly, when you are driving in 'spirited mode' that extra 25 should be .. not really an issue.
There is a lot of great potential here on BOTH sides of this coin, the charger people's side AND Energica's side as well for vast improvements. I sure hope someone will look into it seriously.
I can offer guidance / suggestions / consulting, reach out if interested. No charge, I want to see this brand succeed so I have service on my bike for years to come and I don't end up owning a dinosaur.
