Thanks Don.  I got the ChargePoint card activated.  Looks like it will be a good thing. I was looking for CCS charging stations but from what I’ve read that’s a Level 2 charge which for my Livewire isn’t any faster than the 12 hours required for Level 1.  I see where the Harley chargepoint stations use CCS combo plugs to access the DC points to the battery.  Are there any other Fast DC Chargers besides the Harley shops?  Here in central Texas there’s not a lot of options outside the major cities so I’m still looking. 

Then I’ll want to know if anybody tried to charge anEV from a car with something akin to jumper cables with a step up transformer?  Bypass the on board charges and connect direct to the battery?  It would only be for emergencies so battery damage shouldn’t be an issue. 

Just wondering...

Greetings All!
I already feel outnumbered but that should be ok. 
I just traded an old Mercedes car for a Harley Livewire!   I test rode one a couple months ago along with a Zero and liked the price of the Zero better but the local Harley dealership was willing to trade for the car, the Zero guy didn’t reply to my email inquiry.  I would have taken either bike but the Livewire fits me very well and I seem to smile the entire time I ride it!

I’ll have lots of questions about charging batteries in the near future.  Seems like most everyplace around me is a Level 1 or a Tesla. 
For now I just wanted to say Hi.
