Fast Charging Solutions for Electric Scooters
Fast charging solutions are the latest innovation in electric scooter technology designed to alleviate the range problem.
Zero emissions and low operating costs made electric scooters the rising star of micromobility. However, some commuters remain adamant that even such remarkable advantages cannot overcome the range limitations of electric vehicles (EVs).
Fast charging solutions can minimize the mileage disadvantage for a seamless riding experience.
Advantages of Fast Charging Solutions
Time Savings
Charging a standard electric scooter battery can take between 4 and 20 hours, mainly depending on its maximum capacity. Fast chargers can reduce this to 20%, making inserting charging stops into your travel plans more manageable.
Convenience
Stopping only when fully charged is recommended to avoid damage when charging an electric battery. This adds another reason why many riders only charge their e-scooters at home. Fast-charging options do not have this problem since they can fully recharge an empty battery in less than an hour.
Longevity
Shorter charge times help preserve the charging cycles of a battery, prolonging its lifespan. Their flexibility makes it easier to avoid completely emptying the battery.
Latest Fast Charging Solutions
DC Fast Chargers
DC fast chargers can recharge an e-scooter battery from 20% to full in 20 to 30 minutes. However, they require a matching charging port installed on the electric scooter.
Home Chargers
Home chargers make charging safer and faster compared to other charger types. They have voltage regulators and overcharge protection. You can charge your scooter before sleeping and pick it up fully charged in the morning.
Portable Chargers
Portable chargers serve as incredible insurance, especially when riding in an area for the first time where charging opportunities are uncertain. However, they have longer charge times.
Solar Chargers
Solar chargers are the most economical but also the most unreliable. They require the right weather to operate at maximum capacity.
Combining fast charging solutions with a high-performance electric scooter is the best way to enjoy the micromobility vehicle. Flash Motors’ Infinity X uses a 72V/29.40Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery that can cover 70 miles (110 kilometers) on a single charge.
