We are shipping next week FYI.

I have called all the people on the dealer's pre orders that I am aware of.

[Killroy]

When the dust settles on V2, I'm sure everyone would like to hear price, plan and product information for new customers. 

I would love to charge at a rate greater than ~10 miles of range per hour.

Brandon check your IM please.

So the HK-J Series charger works via can with the BMS?

I am excited...

Where can we buy it?

Thanks,
Mario.

Thanks for the update, next week is faster than I suspected! I'll drop Hollywood Electrics an email for follow up on my unit.
If you can release more information like max power etc. that would be great.

He also asked me about Facebook and it sounds like he's made a video with some innovation or announcement. I don't mess with social wankery sites, so maybe one of you book face twitter diddly types can post the details.

No video yet.  Just a picture of Brandon charging a Zero at a Tesla charging station using a J-plug adaptor.

Brandon has already provided the information in this thread.

3.3kW modules x 6 = 19.8kW

3.3kW modules x 8 = 26.4kW

we have 15 units in stock and are testing mounting and cooling now.

the higger power chargers require liquid cooling. if that isnt ready by the time i am back from japan we will start shipping smaller charges which can upgrade to higher power by bolting in more units.

so far we have everything working and stable but since the mounting is different we are testing a lot. were also testing different pumps for the system.

the system is fully modular and should be able to fit 19.8 kw on the bike. its fully isolated so the modularity allows the use of multiple jplugs.

our intent is to roll out upgradeable chargers from 3.3 kw all the way uoto 26 once the zero firmware is updated to allow faster charging than 1C.

the reason we would roll out smaller units to start is so you can start charging faster now and upgrade as we are ready.

i am back on the 12th i hope to get some more zeros over here in japan soon.

I've read that already but perhaps I just cannot contain my excitement. Looking at the base used for the charger I'm guessing that it won't support DC.

The modularity is a nice thing, that way you can mount them more balanced on the back of a bike. Charging at +1C will be amazing.

I'm curious how it will support 3 phase input, probably by assigning each phase at its own 2-3 charger block?
Time to beef up my top case support until the new rear and will be made.

Ah, the mythical HPWC adapter. Thanks. That's a difficult connector to source.

[dukecola]

@dukecola who did you order from, and where are you located?

@BrianTRice I'll send you an actual solid part of the charger for your library of ebike kniwledge.

GrandCanyon, I'm in NH. Appreciate any update. Thanks

[dukecola]

Thanks Brian,  small and compact and light is what I'm looking for as I always ride 2-up and exceed weight as it is.

The V2 unit is a combination of these new Elcon models, the HK-J which each put out 3.3kW as long as they're cooled: http://www.elconchargers.com/catalog/item/9034090/10295140.htm

Two of these units together with the cooling system seem to be smaller than the V1 charger, and easier to configure in the tank area or elsewhere. I've seen these units; they're very compact. I can't make precise claims but I made a quick CAD sketch and the pair together is easily smaller than the V1, and possibly 3 can be fit under the tank, although I think DigiNow has another arrangement in mind.

I'm attaching a screencap of my CAD layout for this comparison.

Why aren't you using the 6,6 kW charger in stead of two 3,3 kW chargers?

So, I have a base 3.3kW system coming to me...what do I need to buy to get started? New tank with chargetank cover? Can I just bolt the SC to the back of the bike somewhere for now, or is it too large for that? I haven't seen any pictures of the current setup.

Very few have seen pics.
Personally I would love to see pics of the supercharger, and the board and everything... While I have no doubts about the quality of it, I would like to have some idea of what it looked like internally before dropping the money for it.

Hopefully mine arrives in the next week - I'll post what I get.
