Zero DSR 2018 here. I'm having a similar issue.  I've emailed Zero with my bike logs but haven't gotten a response as yet.

I think I may be getting similar errors.  From what I can see there appears to be a low motor voltage error and maybe line contactor error with Sevcon gen4 motor controller?  Unfortunately no dealerships nearby in order to check

Got insurance (only TP) and plates today, and am now on the road.  Not feeling we need the diginow chargers right now.  Freeport is small, averaging only 45km a day.  110V overnight seems to be all we need.
Just noticed there are hardly any bikes (of any kind) on the roads here.
Import Duty is now down to 10% for Electric Bikes, and for Electric cars less than $50K in value (versus 45-75% for ICE vehicles).

Good to know about the 10%.  There are people I meet each week that are interested but the cost is always a major factor when deciding to bite the bullet.  Hopefully shipping parts will receive the same love.

Rider here in Nassau Zero DS 2018.   I've had it for about a year now, using it mostly for commuting.  Love it.  Aiming to get another one with a bigger battery if or when I relocate.

Registration was initially a pain because no one knew what it was or how to classify it.  Actually customs department impounded it because they couldn't figure out how it could work without an engine.  Licensing department gave me issues for similar reasons, with no Zero motorcycles in their systems and they had to get the tech guys to make a totally new entry and they had to figure out how to  match CC's to HP regarding engine size.

I got comprehensive insurance after my agent agreed I had great insurance history with them, but they usually don't give comprehensive on bikes.  But my argument was that it's as expensive as a car.  So they finally worked out a deal.  I am the only rider allowed, which is fine with me

You will be asked A LOT of questions about the bike.  Other bikers initially won't like it and I sneak up on everyone because it's so quiet.  So adjust your riding a bit.  Literally no one knows you're there until you pass by.

Regarding parts, the onboard charger was the only issue so far I've really had.  The DiGinow supercharger is a great fix regarding that and if I buy another bike it's a must.  Cut's down on charing times significantly.  I'd check the www.plugshare.com website.  There is atleast 1 fast charging location in GB for what it's worth.  Typically I charge at home though... No big change in my electricity bill at all and because I rarely use my car (either when it's raining or I have heavy stuff/passengers to carry)  my gas bill has significantly dropped.
