Charging Scooters at a Charging Station...

There usedta be a map of the charging stations. Ah.. a bit of yahoogling and I find this: http://www.evchargernews.com/

I believe the paddle chargers are not conductive and are unique to vehicles that accept paddle inputs. As I recall they are inductive.

However the AVCON style chargers are conductive and it's possible to build an adaptor to accept them. I remembered that some organization has such an adaptor and eventually found this:

However the AVCON is a 220 v thingy. And the eaaev.org converter box looks a little large to be carrying on a scooter of the sort you are about to receive. But, gosh, that strikes an interesting thought in my thinking. There are a lot of these charging stations around, and only a few have a regular 120v outlet.

with regards to the 220v...is that single or 3phase?
if its single, you could buy a second 220v charger, such as the one used in the Australian market.
If its 3 phase things could b trickier....you could wire 3 single phase chargers to accept 3 phase.

after taking down to 220 and then 110, am I going to get way too many amps or will the on board charger correct this. I'm thinking it's likely to fry.

Uh.. the onboard charger is gonna take 120v and do whatever it does to interface with the battery pack. If you're lucky the onboard charger will autosense the input voltage and handle having a higher voltage, like 240v. It's just like the charger on a laptop or cell phone after all, and most of those can take 220/240v. However I looked at the Soneil website this morning and most of their chargers are either 120v or 220/240v and only one can handle both.
