At home charging using 240V outlet without power tank

[CKIEFFERIII]

I just recently purchased a 2014 Zero S 8.5kWh with the 1300 Watt EVC Li-Ion Charger Series (1.3kW) onboard charger (https://greenwattpower.com/product/1300-watt-evc-li-ion-charger-series/) with no power or charge tank. I have a 240V outlet (NEMA 14-50) installed in my garage and I am trying to figure out if I am able to somehow utilize it to charge my bike faster. Has anyone attempted this without having a power tank before or might have an idea on how to do it?

You have to have the J1772 connection plug. I recently contacted Zero about this. If you have the above connector they say you can charge with it both 3kw and 6KW. It’s not recommended to charge 100% all the time. I have my bike set to automatically turn off at 85%. This helps with battery life.
