Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Wheelies and Burnouts on the SR
« on: April 07, 2014, 02:37:24 PM »
Is that actually possible on the 2014 SR? Or is the throttle electronically controlled so you can't actually pop a wheelie or do a burn out? - not that I condone this  :P

...I contacted Hollywood Electrics and they made me a J1772 adapter plug which allows me to connect not only the internal charger but I can connect two quick chargers as well.

Can you paste a pic of your J1772 adaptor? Is there a retail available version or is it a once off build for you by Hollywood Electrics?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / What's the point of the J1772 Charging Adaptor/Kit?
« on: April 03, 2014, 02:57:10 PM »
I clicked into Zero website's accessory page and noted this paragraph on the J1772 charging adaptor/kit page:

--------
Please note, the SAE J1772 Charging Adapter will not speed up your motorcycle charge time, which is limited by the motorcycle's integrated charger.
--------

So unlike the CHAdeMO kit, the J1772 kit can only charge via the internal charger? Seems quite pointless!

I'm in Australia so there are barely any J1772 or Chademo plugs in the country. But our typical power point is 240V at 10A, so it can supply 2400W max and there are plenty of portable electric heaters that are 2000W, so I'd say it'll be safe to have two quick chargers that draw 2000W together when charging. The onboard charger and a quick charger together would be 2300W so that's a bit close but should be fine as well. Similar to Ultrarnr, having a petrol generator just provides options, ie. borrow a power point and charge the onboard charger plus a quick charger, and the run the second quick charger off the petrol generator, so you can get moving quicker.

Could the EF2000i handle just the onboard charger? A 2000W gas generator should be able to handle the 1300W pull from the onboard charger?

Hi folks, was wondering if the 2014 Zeros can charge purely from the quick chargers, or do they always need the onboard charger to be plugged in as well? Let's say you have two quick chargers, can you charge the bike only via plugging in the quick chargers but not the onboard charger?

Quick question to the folks that have the quick charger from Zero for the 2013/2014 models, is it the 96V model? Is the Zero version using some kind of proprietary connector, or if I am able to buy the Quiq from another retailer and it would work with a 2014 Zero?

Would the dual sport screen be better for highway riding to keep the wind blast off your body and head? Or is the commuter screen sufficient? I see the dual sport screen as being taller so should provide better coverage?

So for a 2014 zero the on board charger is 1300W, so it will pull 1300W/110V = 11.8 amps from the wall.

I'm in Australia so our power sockets are 240V@10A, so onboard charger is 1300W/240V = 5.4A, and with a quick charger it's 1000W/240V = 4.2A, so 5.4 + 4.2 = 9.6A total current draw... So theoretically a typical Australian 240V/10A household socket can charge a 2014 Zero with a quick charger on the same circuit?? Or is my maths wrong somewhere?

Australia is getting the 2014 Zeros at the end of the month, so I'm doing the homework first :)

Hi folks, currently looking at getting a Zero S, and wanting to reduce the charge times would like to get a quick charger as well. However on the Zero website it notes: "you must plug each charger into a separate 110V/15A circuit."

Given a household power socket, how would you know that the socket on this wall is on the same or different circuit on the other wall?

If you didn't know and happen to plug the bike's on board charger and a quick charger into the same circuit, what would happen?

I also had the Honda EU2000i in mind, the other alternative is the Yamaha EF2000is. I thought the onboard charger also draws 1300W? Let us know how it goes with the Honda generators.

Hi folks, was wondering if anybody had experience in recharging using a portable petrol generator? Would a 2000W generator be sufficient to charge a Zero S or DS? I take it that it should be able to as from the specs the bike draws 1300W when charging?
