If you have tesla stations around, you might consider the tesla inlet, often 19kw from a single station!

I do not see the Tesla inlet available for building an adaptor -- anyone know of a good source?
Also, it appears here:

and here:

that the HPWC can deliver  208/240/277VAC - does anyone know how people that are handling Tesla charging on non-Tesla EV are handling up to 277VAC ?

Hollywood Electrics: Harlan, Maria.  I recommend phone, emails tend to get lost unless they are looking specifically for them.

Or ebay e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Female-Tesla-compatible-connector-J1772-UMC-EV-/142414753275

Signaling circuit is the same as j-plug.

277vac is, what p-to-p or rms?  Modern chargers are generally switching smooting rectifiers, can handle a range of voltages, check the specs on yours.  Usually we see 208-240vac, but 277vac may be in range.  People testing T-inlets on diginow SCv2 have reported success.

That is a very great new!.. in fact that TESLA plug is just a different mechanical connector form interface in fact.....

At least for Tesla *destination* stations, that's true. Shopping centers, hotels.

Tesla Supercharger stations are a different matter.

Thanks for the links -- apparently I do not know how to Google.

the 277V I was referring to is: http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6993.0 and also listed on the Tesla page regarding what power the HPWC can deliver.

I do not know if this is a real problem that anyone using Tesla inlet encounters ever, or not.

I discovered a write-up dated 2013-2014 of dual J1772 charging capability added to a Nissan Leaf:
http://www.upgrademyleaf.com/examples-of-nissan-leaf-charger-upgrade/

Not sure how relevant Nissan Leaf charging is to Zero motorcycles, but the charger used in that post is discontinued:

"BRUSA Elektronik AG will be retiring the NLG5 line of EV battery charger and phasing out its production by the end of 2017."

and

"While nominal output voltage range of 200…520 VDC guarantees nominal output power the charger can output lover DC voltage (down to 12VDC) with reduced output power."

So I guess it's another emotorworks kind of situation?

"Lover"?

Anyways, the above conflicts with stated specs:

"Output Voltage Range Single Phase   200...520 VDC"

Which is well out of the range Zeros require.

If anyone wants to build Tesla inlets themselves ass DIY, let me know, I will sell you the kit and parts for $100. But emaiul me @ brandon@diginow.it
