This gets rid of my charging anxiety on the S2 Del Mar

In my previous S2 Del Mar adventure, I hit the limits of the 16A charger (on 15amp GFI/GCF outlets) that comes with LiveWire motorcycles - I vowed to never let that happen again as I invested in a few adapters and a new charging unit. Today I'm riding around Richmond Virginia to see how everything works and if I spent my money wisely.

I absolutely recommend these:

Adapters to use with the stock Lectron EVSE (max 3.6kW)

Talk us through the process of charging at Camp Grounds. Thank you

Keep it up, Ben! I love your content!

I just looked where I live in the Seattle area within a 18 mile radius. 37 level 2 chargers most of which are single units with 3-5kw. 64 level 3 chargers, most with 4 or more units, and some even have a level 2 as well.
My grocery stores have level 2 chargers for free (3kw usually). Charging infra is vastly improving. Down the Pacific Coast Highway from WA to CA there are DC fast chargers every 50-75 miles now.

Nice video. Glad you got your hands on a tesla tap mini.

Sheesh, you can use Tesla destination chargers? That rocks!! Lots of locations.

And I thought germany didn't have enough Type-2 chargers. My Alrendo came with a 1, 3kw charger to plug into a regular outlet. So far I didn't need the other plug types so far.

What is the difference between the Tesla Tap and all the cheaper units I have seen listed online that claim to adapt to tesla ?? Also I have heard a lot of times from your videos, as well as others, that the included livewire chargers trip GFI outlets. Why is that and how come it doesn't happen all the time? For some reason in my house there is one single outlet in the two car garage, its a GFI outlet and its where I have been charging my Del Mar. It has not tripped it yet, so that got me wondering why sometimes they will work and other times they will not. I heard you say before that its because of some AC filter or something on the bikes, but I have not been able to find anything anywhere about said system.

Question for you I’ve got the Tesla adapter, but how do I activate the Tesla charging unit? Is there an app do I need to register? I’ve never used a Tesla system before.?

The Webasto Go charger looks identical to the charger that came with my Polaris Kinetic. Speaks well of Webasto that a big OEM is using it under their brand.

My F150 Lightning came with a Ford branded Webasto charger. We saw 5.1kw charging a Del Mar from the Lightning using that charger.

I have a question for you Ben. Are you charging the Del Mar to 100% all the time? (edited) I mean when you charge say overnight.

Can’t go 50’ here in Los Angeles without tripping over a L2 charger, but then I have a LW1.

What are you carrying that in? I don't see a tank bag.

I guess the S2 Del Mar is not a long-distance bike, but I think it is a dead end to making EV bikes without DCFC ability. All EV bikes should have a 16A Level 1 charger (3.6 kW), adjustable amps (6-8-10), and a Level 3 DCFC. Maybe Level 2 chargers are more common in some places, but it's not for the future when many DCFCs are popping up everywhere.

Oh, so you still counting the VLOGs...
