Title: SR/F + SR/S => Adjustable AC charging?
Post by: MrMogensen on November 20, 2021, 01:04:16 AM
Can the AC charging of these bikes be adjusted - meaning is it possible to setup a lower current (Amp) from the screen without fiddling with chargers?

We have limited amp available since we share 60 amps with 8 houses. Therefore its optimal to be able to charge with less than 16A.

Home charger can’t limit less than 10A and since I often have all night it would be great if the bike was able to charge with as little as 5 or 6A?

The official Zero charging cable can do this.

Cas :)

Something that comes with the bike or sole separately? Can’t find it on Zero’s homepage.

Also my home charger has a 5 meter Type2 cable attached so if only the Zero’s cable and not bike itself can toggle amp up/down it’s an issue… Don’t worry haven’t bought anything yet :)

I like the charger with cable so I don’t have to fiddle with anything extra. Charger is outside and our EV is parked up against a hedge so would be a hassle to always go in the trunk for a cable.

Been told Energicas has adjustable amps on the bike itself. Good idea for the many small Italian villages :)

Ahhh so directly into a regular socket. Neat little thing thats handy to have, but for daily use I wouldn't...
I get about 1 DKK returned for each kWh charged for anything that is charged by homecharger (via Type2 cable).
