Is there any chance you guys could design a WiFi connection to the DBI port (I think thats what its called) so Zero US could connect to the bike now they have pulled out of Australia?

I have a connector for the Main Bike Board and for the Sevcon Controller. Both use the OBDII port. Don't really need Wifi per se, you just need to plug in a laptop with the right adaptor (probably the IXXAT USB to CAN adaptor for the Sevcon) and software into the OBDII and have the Zero US guys remote access into the laptop and diagnose from there.

Email me at support@evtricity.com.au and I'll help however I can to get your bike going.

Hello,
Do somebody now what the import tax is for Europe. (Belgium)?

I'm interested.

With friendly regards

[caruso56]

For Germany the fee was 22% in total (19 tax plus 3 customs).

I like that the free chargepoint level 1 chargers around here are all NEMA 20 So for now I got some nice 20A cables till I can get the more expensive J1772 3 way custom cable

so, will be carrying 2x NEMA 20 - C19 & 1x NEMA 15 - C13(stock cable) instead to use what's available for free for now...  of course it needs more level one plug stations than just a single J1772 So there is that Huge drawback. (but on some of the free ones the J1772 is offline but level ones are working....)

That is if the Danish postalservice can get their fingers out their a..

6 days, order to door. WOW

Only critique, Shipping, the cardboard is far too light a grade for the weight, and air packaging pops with this weight, and the loose fill shifts when the cardboard deforms that much from just the weight.

It would fail a 30" drop test for sure edge/corner

quarter inch closed cell foam isn't that expensive, and could be used as a wrap, Easiest, or laminated (spray adhesive is cheap) into a custom protection like that pictured that was designed for a similar weight item.

The evtricity charger (single kit) and the charge tank are a good combination. To feed both chargers by the same Type 2 source, I combined the evtricity Mennekes-adapter with this

cable. It is adjustable in 1A steps from 6 to 16, so you can cover a range from 1.6 kW to 7.1 kW with less space needed (compared to the Zero Type 2-1 cable plus the quiq charger with its cables).

I've also used cheap wrapping cardboard that would provide more protection when wrapped properly.

(the closed cell foam is still best...)

Arrived at CPH AirPort this morning. Now it's up to customs and postal service.

Thanks for the suggestions on the packaging. I'll improve the packing going forward to give the chargers more protection.

Just recieved my charger. Package seemed ok, but when i opened it, one of the strainreleeves (if thats what its called) was broken, its the one on the 230v side, luckily, as if a short develops here, it'll just blow a mains fuse.
So for future customers please use a sturdier protection.
Othervise it looks really good.

My apologies.

The broken piece is an M20 cable gland. It's a common part, a couple dollars each. This is the second one that has been broken and as noted earlier I will be packing the chargers more securely going forward. I can organise a replacement but it will likely be faster to pick up the part from your local electricity supplies shop.

To remove and replace the gland requires you to remove the IEC C20 sockets. I can show you how to do that on Skype if you wish. It's a 15 minute job and you're back to new.

The charger cases are literally bullet proof, unfortunately the cable glands are not. With better packing the issue should be rectified for new buyers going forward.

I ordered a single charger. Arrived within 6 days of order (Colorado Western Slope). My first use, combined with the onboard, was delivering between 5000 and 5500W. From 50% to full was 45 minutes. AWESOME. Expectations exceeded.
