Straddled electric vehicle
A straddled electric vehicle includes a wheel, an electric motor to drive the wheel, a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor, a DC charging port to receive a DC current output from a first external power source, and an AC charging port to receive an AC current output from a second external power source. A first distance between the DC charging port and the battery is smaller than a second distance between the AC charging port and the battery.
1 . A straddled electric vehicle comprising:
a wheel;
an electric motor to drive the wheel;
a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor;
a DC charging port to receive a connector provided on a cable extending from a first external power source to output a DC current to charge the battery;
an AC charging port to receive a connector provided on a cable extending from a second external power source to output an AC current to charge the battery; and
a body frame including a head pipe; wherein
a first distance between the DC charging port and the battery is shorter than a second distance between the AC charging port and the battery;
along a vehicle front-rear direction, the AC charging port is forward of the head pipe; and
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the DC charging port is rearward of the head pipe.
2 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the battery includes a battery casing, and a harness extending from the DC charging port is directly inserted in the battery casing.
3 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the battery includes a battery casing;
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the DC charging port is between a front end portion of the battery casing and a rear end portion of the battery casing; and
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the AC charging port is forward of the front end portion of the battery casing.
4 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first footboard on which a rider is able to rest a left foot;
a second footboard on which the rider is able to rest a right foot; and
a body cover including a center tunnel portion between the first footboard and the second footboard along a vehicle width direction; wherein
the battery is located in the center tunnel portion; and
the DC charging port is located on an outer surface side of the center tunnel portion.
5 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:
a front cowl to cover a portion of a vehicle front portion; wherein
the AC charging port extends through the front cowl.
6 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the battery includes a battery casing;
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the AC charging port is forward of a front end portion of the battery casing; and
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the DC charging port is rearward of the front end portion of the battery casing.
7 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:
a seat on which a rider is able to sit; wherein
along the vehicle front-rear direction, the DC charging port is forward of a front end portion of the seat.
8 . The straddled electric vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising an onboard charger to convert the AC current received by the AC charging port to a DC current, and output the DC current to the battery.
