Title: Looking for a compact Mennekes-Jplug adapter for Zero's with charge tanks
Post by: Erasmo 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?

Post by: Erasmo on December 28, 2018, 02:04:32 AM: 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.

Post by: Moto7575 on December 28, 2018, 03:33:15 PM: it is often cheaper to buy a full product on aliexpress and just keep what you need than buying the part somewhere else...

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!
