[ACDC Biker]

No matter which DC charging station I go to.
After the usual connection between the charging station and my Energica Eva SS9 (14 kW), the connection is established. click click - After that, DC charging shows 0 kW and 0 amps.
AC charging works without any issues at the usual 3 kW and 16 amps.
Is there something like a high-current fuse? What could it be? Thanks for your help.

there is a fuse, i believe it is in the battery pack, want to say 90 amp, think newer ones are at 100 amp??  i believe the upgrade was due to issues with it over time heat fatiguing and letting loose too soon, like it appears yours may have done.

what part of town are you in?  Chris may be able to help you possibly.  DonTom tore his battery apart he may have some insight as well for you.

Yes there's a charge fuse. It could have blown. I had a super early SS9 and problematic US stations back in 2018 surged and popped it more than once. Eventually Chris, head of US service, replaced the 80 amp version with a 100 amp one which is still alive and well to this day.

The DCFC path is different with a fuse inside the battery as it has noting to do with the AC charger.  On the older bikes, such as mine, it is a BIG job, I have done it on my 2020 SS9-.  With the newer bikes it is much easier but extremely dangerous as it is possible to short out the entire battery pack.


So which year, is it a SS9- or SS9+?


With the SS9-, the first step is to remove the battery pack which is very heavy and has many things that must be disconnected. As I said a big job, one that I have done.


On the SS9+ the good news is the battery does NOT need to be removed. While I know how it is done also, it is so dangerous I would rather have somebody else explain it. I have not done that job, but I am sure I could do it safely. You will need insulated tools and the bottom plate must come down as straight as possible. The battery can be a bomb if not done correctly. And the high voltage is exposed.


Best to let an Energica dealer do the job on the newer bikes, it is NOT that expensive of a job. The older SS9- is a very expensive job, as it requires many hours of work, perhaps several days worth.


It probably has an 80 or  90 amp DCFC fuse in the battery. It should be replaced with a 100-amp.


BTW,  was the last WORKING charger you used an EV-GO?

Park it for a day, charge it on AC, park it for another day, try again.

Every now and then my Ribelle comes over all Italian and decides it doesn't want to talk to chargers but then it fixes itself.

That's so Italian hahaha

With a blown DCFC fuse, with most DCFCs it will talk to the charger just fine and then supply 0.0 watts all day long.


However, ChargePoint DCFCs will notice something is wrong and shut down, but after it has a normal start.


So the way it acts on different CCS  chargers with a blown DCFC fuse varies, but the OP does NOT sound at all like a charger communication problem. It's a no draw current issue.
