Charging 72v DIY motorcycle of street EV chargers?

[earthsounds]

Hi guys.

Are there any modules available that would allow me to charge my 72v motorcycle of the street EV chargers or any DIY solutions/ circuits/ schematics ?
I know there are different charger standards, so this is rather broad question I guess.
Alternatively, can you point me to a source where this has been discussed previously?

Thanks in advance,
Rafal

IIRC, forum member methods was working on this. You could look up his posts on this.

Here is at least one:

There are kits for J1772 standard anyway.

Most I've seen do not include the actual rectifier (PSU)

Think maybe $1200-1400 for 3kW or so.

Thanks.
So far I'm deep into 'methods' thread, very good read, I hope it goes somewhere.

Turned out to be a dead end...

but have you tried the vodka and pancakes?

Actually.... I've just returned from all inclusive holidays, so...
Yes, I've tried vodka and pancakes
I'd still like to find some useful info on possible solutions to charging my future bike, seems odd that there's nothing yet...

This already exists:

Your motorcycle just needs to have a 220VAC capable input with a standard NEMA5-15 input. I use this:

Viola.

Thanks Jordan.
I will look into this.

Oh and just so you know the only standards you need to worry about are the standards for Level 2 charging (which includes most parking-lot chargers, Tesla destination chargers and home chargers). The other charger you'll find are CCS DC fast chargers, but you cannot use a DC fast charger for a 72V battery (well, technically the dying 'CHADEMO' standard allowed for it but that's another story)

What continent are you on?? If you're in Europe you need a IEC 62196 Type 2 connection. I'm not sure this adapter exists off-the-shelf. If you're in North America you need a J1772 connection, which is what I linked above.
