[PWM]

First episode...SB interesting to follow the journey into Africa...



Encounters limp mode at 11% SOC and doesn't realize that only AC charging will balance the pack.

[Specter]

The Engine light thing is on too, wonder what faults he has active or what set that off?

[Specter]

They will charge on Tesla stations.  Destintion stations are not a big deal to get started, but the fast chargers, even with the app it's buggy, even with a plug converter, tesla's or someone elses, it's buggy sometimes wanting to start.  problem is SC's are looking for another tesla, the destination ones take any car, so the SC's the app won't recognize as being able to charge, even if you put it in, most times it won't even show on the map for your 'other vehicle'.  A quick visit and email to tesla and they did someting so the station by me, knows me now and i can charge right up no problem.  not sure if it works on every Tesla supercharger station now or if they just did mine, ill find out soon here.

In Europe they standardized the plugs so it's all CCS Mennekes. There is no need for adapters.

[Specter]

he may still need to contact them to get the charger to turn on for him.  Obviously having a Tesla vehicle / account is probably going to be needed.  Given he is travelling to many different country's it'd be interesting to see if he could get it to work everywhere, but I highly doubt it.

Marc tried a V3 (250kW) Supercharger: these don't work for Energica. The only ones that work are the V2 150kW types, with 2 cables (for old model S before Tesla adopted CCS). However, they come with a warning that they can brick the bike in some cases. You have to disconnect the charger manager to reset the bike. Also V2 chargers are not so common in countries where Tesla has expanded the last years. But apart from that, a non-Tesla can charge across Europe with the Tesla app. Tesla is generally a cheap alternative.

[Stonewolf]

Honestly I've never used a supercharger because there's no need to bother, non-tesla chargers are all over the place and superchargers are rare.

Wouldn't bet on them being around and working for much longer either now that Tesla has spectacularly dropped the ball.

Marc Travels has uploaded again. This time from the Netherlands: his bike is being upgraded with crash bars and his leaking suspension fixed.

I do love that shop in Netherlands. Wish I had something like that in Southern California....  Good to know in case if I need parts!

Price-wise I found Tesla not very attractive here in Germany and where I am running around there is only 1 Tesla charging point - so no need to give my money to the lunatic.

Current best prices for me are 0.55 EUR/kWh with Aral Pulse and 0.56 EUR/kWh with EnBW, but only at their own chargers.
Otherwise it's around 0.80 EUR and can even rise to over 1 EUR on highly frequented Autobahn stations.

Last year in summer I accidentially met the owners Arne and his wife. Slurped a coffee while charging my Ribelle in Meschede when suddenly there where two Experias approaching.
They are very nice people! Motor van de Toekomst has some spare parts in store and they would be happy to answer your requests.

55-56 ct is a competitive price, If you have a Tesla car or subscribtion with non-Tesla, Tesla cheaper, but with the Energica I don't care that much about price tbh. I personally like Fastned with autocharge, just plug and charge.

Yes they are nice people and true bikers. Then I have seen your very nice Ribelle, they showed the pics of the encounter. My bike is currently in their shop (2nd red Ribelle) for some damage.

Which Dutch shop is that?
