Looking at Zap-Map for the UK (fairly unscientifically, just scrolling around the map for different areas of the country), it looks like there are a fair number of Type 2 chargers that could charge up to 12kW here. But it also seems that they are usually either older units, or expensive units, or both.
CCS is better catered for. As is 7kW Type 2.
7kW Type 2 can also often be found at a far cheaper rate than CCS, so that is one other thing to factor in here. I could charge an Energica in 20-30mins on CCS, or I could charge a Zero in 2 hours (on a 7kW charger) but save enough money on the charge cost to pay for the coffee I drink while waiting 2 hours!
I need to give it some thought really, and test ride one of them when I get a chance. I’d be using it as an all-year commuter as well as for touring, so the belt drive on the Zero REALLY appeals to me!
Maybe I would just have to re-evaluate my approach to motorcycle touring. Right now, I have a big, comfortable touring bike and can happily do 500 miles or more in a day. That said, those big mileage days tend to be at the start or end of a trip, getting to or back from the area I want to visit/ride in. Once I’m in the area I want to visit, it’s more like 200 mile days with plenty of stops to see things anyway. So maybe if I went the Zero route, I’d have to take an extra day or so at the start and end of my trips for the journey to and from the destination area.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, you could do a 200 mile day on a Zero, but a 300 mile day on an Energica (due to faster charging). The other thing to factor in is whether I would actually want to do a 300 mile day on that style of bike anyway? Currently I would do 300 miles easily, but my bike has a neutral, upright position and a wide, comfy seat. I have a bad back, and I reckon I’d be feeling ready to rest after 200 miles on a leaned-forward sports-tourer anyway.
So, a lot to weigh up! But I am maybe leaning back towards the Zero on paper at least the more I consider the difference in the real world between these bikes.
