I don't know if you have ever seen the parcel guys handle parcels, but what many do is stand on the ground and throw the parcels into the back of the trucks or out of the truck onto the ground. So you can test your packing by doing the same.

Stock update, July 11th 2017 ...

We have 5 double 6.6kW+ charging kits available for purchase.

We have sold out of our current stock of single 3.3kW+ chargers. We have enough components to build six more single charging kits however there has been a delay with the supply of our custom charger cases so it will be approximately two weeks before we have single chargers in stock and ready to configure and ship again.

As noted previously, we had procured the rectifiers used in our charging kits at a very low price which we passed onto purchasers. We are actively looking for a low cost supplier of new rectifiers however we have not made additional purchases at this time. This may result in us delaying the availability of charging kits once the stock of single and double charger kits (5 and 6 units respectively) is gone and/or increasing the prices.

Stock availability is always shown on the EVtricity web site for each product so you can check there rather than browsing through this forum topic. We endeavour to ship within 2 business days of an order however we had seven orders since last Wednesday and it may take a day or two longer to get them out!

We've been genuinely surprised with the positive response from this forum to our products and really hope that everyone who has purchased them has been able to get more time on their Zeros as that's what we have set out to do.

Charge fast, ride fast!

What are the specs you're looking for?

Emerson R48-2000e3 is the model we have been using. We have built and tested around this rectifier and are very happy with it as the base for our charging kits.

I ordered a single charger. Arrived within 6 days of order (Colorado Western Slope). My first use, combined with the onboard, was delivering between 5000 and 5500W. From 50% to full was 45 minutes. AWESOME. Expectations exceeded.

2016 SR with 13.0 pack using a juicebox 40A charger.

Did you have to pay any import duties ordering this into the US?

[Булгаков]

I have been very happy with my single 3.3kW charger, though I am now wishing I had bought the double 6.6kW charger.

If someone wants a 3.3kW charger, perhaps we could set up an exchange (I'm in the US, if that makes a difference for shipping). Mine is still in the exact same condition as when I bought it.

Hopefully in a week or two i can tell about the Danish costums and VAT.
That is if the Danish postalservice can get their fingers out their a..

By the way the customs and handling fee (Denmark) was 2500kr or about 340€

I must say the service from Evtricity is good, they answer any emails within hours, and i've send them a couple.

Had my first attempt at rapid charging today. Great experience!! charged at 30/60/75Amps on one,
two respectively three phase's. This is really an augmentation of the bikes usability.

I did have a little problem with my Mennekes adaptor, i did the soldering of the signal part my self (two resistors and one diode),
first time i tried it it didn't work, i contacted the chargepoint provider E-on, and their technician told me that they could see that
I had opened the chargepoint, but it didn't open the"tap's".

On my way home (30km) I wondered what could have gone wrong, and agreed to myself, that the only possible failure in the Mennekes
Had to be wrong polarity of the diode. At home I changed the polarity of the diode and drove back to the charge station,
and DANG, the juice flow'd freely. I used the onboard charger to test it.

An other thing worth mentioning is: it's very difficult to attach the DC cable to the AUX port on the bike, IF u're using side cases from Givi.
The Zero folk's should do their homework properly, and move the port to somewhere you dont need to crawl on hands and knees to
reach the port, and with the Givi mounting hardware it's not possible to mate the sbs75x of the bike to the one of the charger.
I ended up making an extension, long enough to get it up in to a reasonable height.

Does anyone in the US who has ordered these have any import duty experiences to share?

[UW4E]

What kind of cable did you use?
2,5 mm² ?
3 phases contacted in the Type 2 plug?

I ordered a 6.6 kW charger + Mennekes adapter yesterday.

Now I am a bit worried, do I also have to make some diode soldering to the adapter before I can use it? Or was your adapter faulty, skoleskibe?

The Mennekes adaptor skoleskibe has is not one bought from us.

Our EVtricity Mennekes adaptors are complete and ready to use on Mennekes Type 2 stations and Tesla destination charging stations that use the same Mennekes Type 2 plug format (ie. Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong), and like all our chargers, the adaptors are each tested before we send them to customers.

My mennekes is homemade, nothing to do with evtricity. ;-)
On a 340km trip, no problem, the charger works like a charm.
Thx evtricity

Ah ok! Sorry fo the confusion!

Very pleased you're enjoying the extra time on your Zero skoleskibe.

The forum topic is about fast charging but really it's a means to enjoying riding your Zero even more.

A mate of mine coined the phrase "Charge fast. Ride fast." You may find yourself going faster too!

I used 2,5mmsq 3phase rubber coated wire from the mennekes connector which I fan out to two c19 connectors for the evtricity charger and one c13 connector for the onboard charger.  I soldered it all together, and wrapped it in professional heavyduty heat schrink with glue. Work like a charm, and no bulky box on the cable. Might take a picture of the mennekes tomorrow.
