Looking for a compact Mennekes-Jplug adapter for Zero's with charge tanks
« on: December 24, 2018, 02:36:38 PM »
So the Charge Tank in Europe currently still has a J-plug input while Mennekes is the standard here. No problem with 99% of the chargers that require to use your own cable anyway but quick chargers have the Mennekes lead already on the charger.

There are L2-L1 adapters:



But they are a bit bulky as you can see. I found this adapter



Which has the perfect form factor but as you can see is the wrong way around. Has anybody ever spotted a compact L2-L1 adapter like above?

Did you try on aliexpress ? I'm always surprised by what you can find there...

Yes however I can only find adapters that are made of 2 plugs with some wire between them. I wouldn't be surprised if it is floating around somewhere on ali but I just cannot find it.

it is often cheaper to buy a full product on aliexpress and just keep what you need than buying the part somewhere else...

Thread revival but I found this from google so may help others. I’ve found one but it’s far from cheap!!

An even more expensive solution and more work to fit but more refined, and it allows you to use the on board charger at the same time on a bike over 7.2kW/h. They also have the same type 1 to type 2 adapter (and the reverse) but even more expensive.

Great find! Crazy expensive though :-( it’s a real shame zero didn’t offer this from factory for Europe models!

That's not much more than the cost of parts. Those parts and manufacturing are expensive!
