Stark mobile charger is out !

[drehwurm68]

That said, using the Stark portable charger will always allow to unmate the connection under load since its mains plug does not have a locking provision - using an adapter or not.

Yes, but the reports I've read were that the adapter was not unlocked which could lead to several issues, Don't forget the charging station provider has your data so you could be made liable for all kind of physical and financial damage if just leaving the adapter there. And if you call for help and stay the same would probably apply.

I understand that each of both aforementioned CP&PP-signal solutions solve both, start/stop charging and connector lock on charging stations.

The Stark portable charger releases the Varg from driving circuits around the common charge stand, and opens up the chance to drive longer tours where you may refill some kilometers into the Varg while having a casual break.

Using a charge station adapter additionally as suggested by Stark Future, opens up more charge opportunities beyond mains outlets that may or may not be able to deliver a whole 3.3kW.

I am using adapter since 2020, mine orignally was from aliexpress and cost 60$ back then

LONG version type2 to SCHUKO with 30cm cable - no buttons

LONG version will work only with STALLS (no cables) of course, one time it got stuck in FREE charging stall - hopefully electrcial box was next to it and it was open so I can turn of breaker and it was unlocked - after this accident I installed on/off switch on CP LINE (or PP) I dont remember and it works ok


later on I printed short type2 plug and replace it - TWO times in stall it not worked , I heard lock try to engage but i got an error in app - but good thing it works with stations with cables


adapter is just to get output 230/240V voltage - simply ELECTRIC device
