Which socket should I use to charge my e-scooter?

Hi,

I would like to buy an e-scooter soon, but unfortunately I don't quite understand how to charge it.

The built-in battery has the following data:

40 Ah battery,

Battery power: 2880 Wh,

Battery voltage: 72 volts.

The manufacturer states that it can be charged using a standard household outlet. However, I've read that these standard outlets aren't actually designed for such long-term continuous use.

Right next to my house there are charging stations with the following information:

Type 2 connector, charging capacity up to 22 kW per charging point.

Can I also charge the e-scooter at a charging station? How can I calculate or determine this?

I don't want my scooter to break down or my socket to overheat and maybe even catch fire haha

Thanks for your answers!

I think in such a small battery the loading time or the charging current can be overlooked.

if the roller has a type2 plug, you can also charge it at the loading column. If he's got a plug, I'd load it at the box. but only directly at the socket, no extension cable, no cable drum, no multiple connector bar.

best regards, Anna

All data indicating consumption. This does not say anything about the charging current or the maximum charging time. It is only possible to determine how high the socket is loaded.

Take an e-scooter with removable battery.

Otherwise you need a garage with electricity to the store.

The removable one can also be found in the apartment shop.

I'll charge my normal in the garage at a socket there's nothing happening. You don't need anything special

yes just wanted to say that any normal outlet should go 😅

I don't mean. but never went so far that it was necessary

Only the data from the battery would make me critical if the alarm bells were to be cleared.

In accordance with DIN/VDE, minimum protection voltage is maximum 48V NO 72V

Thus, it would also be dangerous to ride around with such a part.A short circuit somewhere fits NO 48 but 72 V.

As far as charging is concerned, you need a special charger that is made of AC 240 Volt then DC 72 Volt with corresponding charging current for the battery.

INCORRECT!

Protection low voltage:

AC to 50 V
DC to 120 V

INCORRECT

Small voltage ≤ 50V so NO THAN 50V! at AC

≤ 120 V for direct current therefore NO ALS 120V.

Where both situations and circumstances are to be considered and cannot be generalized.

IEC 60449

VDE 0100 Group 700

These values ​​correspond to the limit for the permanently permissible contact voltage for adults and normal applications

An e-bike or scooter is NO normal application!

See also:

DIN EN 61140 (VDE 0140-1)

Suitable voltage sources for low-voltage protection are:

  • Rechargeable batteries or other electrochemical current sources (DIN 57510/VDE 0510) or galvanic elements
  • Safety transformers according to VDE 0551 or under certain conditions also transformers with safe electrical separation (eg DIN 57804/VDE 0804)
  • Voltage sources which correspond to the safety transformers as above in the safety level, for example generators with separate windings (VDE 0530)
  • Electronic devices if it is ensured that in the event of a fault the output voltage (also against ground) does not increase higher than within the scope of the low-voltage protection, or that a higher voltage is reduced immediately and in less than 0.2 seconds when touched.

Functional low voltage without electrically safe separation (FELV)

The small functional voltage without an electrically safe separation (cf. Functional Extra Low Voltage , FELV) is a small electrical voltage which, in terms of its height, does not constitute a danger during contact. This system is not allowed as a measure for protection against electrical impact.

Double or reinforced insulations are not provided here. Grounding and connections of the circuits with protective conductors are permissible. However, housing and body must be connected to the protective conductor of the primary side.

In order to be able to ensure protection against direct contact, the insulation must be selected in accordance with the rated voltage of the primary circuit of the current source or alternatively also by covers or envelopes (covers or envelopes are intended to prevent the touch of active parts). The bodies of the operating means of the FELV circuit must be connected to the protective conductor of the primary circuit of the current source. (DIN VDE 0100-410)

The grounding of the secondary circuit can be effected in the case of ground closures or Earth connections lead to the self-locking of shooters if they are switched over ground/min. However, in the case of a grounded secondary circuit, a body closure or ground closure of voltage-carrying conductor leads to a disconnection of the overcurrent protection members, so that a single fault can also be detected. On the other hand, in non-ground secondary circuits with small safety voltage, double body or ground connections are required (for example before and after the switching devices) in order to cause self-connection.

Typical applications are controls of machines. In the case of construction, therefore, it is necessary to weigh between these cases.

Mobile devices are therefore subject to a separate determination before short-shot protection. Therefore, the direct current limitation to 48 V DC is NOT ALS 50V. Because sometimes this tension is the maximum for the human being without suffering much damage.

Is the question serious?

Of course, you can load it at any house without any problems?

Do I and many other people

I don't think it's possible because each e-scooter has its own charger and the connection of the charging column should not fit as they are designed for cars.

I only know them here from Hamburg.

And here I have only seen for cars.
