;Notes
: Limited orders made for the [[DigiNow Super Charger V1|V1]] through 2016 have been upgraded to a two module version of the V2.

: Tank Bag cowl area fitment for one module air-cooled.
: Power Tank cowl area fitment for two modules air-cooled, and three modules with a yet-to-be-designed thermal management system.

;Ordering

: They limit themselves to lower amperage when connected to North American household voltage levels, which are typically designed for 15A at 110-120VAC.
: They are made to run at full power on 208-240VAC, and they have also been tested to run at full power from ~170-360VDC
: Cooling is provided by air-blowing fans; a liquid cooling system is also available by special request.
: The [http://www.elconchargers.com/catalog/item/9034090/10295140.htm Elcon variant's product page] indicates that it can communicate over CAN bus, which requires a custom control module to tell it what to do for integration with Zero's systems to be safe and reliable.
: Also, these chargers are [http://www.power-supply-designer.com/2011/05/isolation/ electrically isolated], eliminating some design and handling issues with the V1 platform.
: There is no controlling user interface currently provided, but [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6557.msg51873#msg51873 DigiNow has stated] they intend to add Bluetooth / BLE support (including for units already shipped), implying some kind of mobile application to communicate over a protocol.
