I'm also confused. Do they expect I sit there for 8+ hours waiting for it to be charged? :huh:
brian said:I'm always hearing about public charging stations being put up around the country, but I'm confused. Do all PHEV's use the same plug? Can a Karma be recharged off of any electric car charging station, or is there something proprietary going on? On the Tesla I thought there was lots of proprietary stuff, but maybe not. I'm confused.

That's correct! (But also incomplete: there are actually multiple standards. Luckily, there is only one that is being put out for common use in the US, and that's the one Fisker uses as well.)brian said:Anyways, what Motorweek said was that the plugs for Level 1 and Level 2 chargers have been standardized, so any PHEV or EV will work with any charging station. They're still working on the plug standard for Level 3 chargers, but those are for commercial use since homes can't put out the power required for one of those... yet.
The Lear unit should be under $2,500. USDLonePalmBJ said:Some clarification from David Harris at Fisker
(As posted in a different thread here: http://fiskerbuzz.com/forums/Thread-Production-Date-Fixed-Finally?page=3 )
"The Recharge station manufacturer is still Lear ... EVConnect is the installation company"
And, when asked about price:
"There is a convenience charger that is included with the Karma, the Lear unit is optional and your Fisker Dealer can provide specific information."
I guess I will be getting this one after all. Quoted price is about $700 and plugs directly into a household 220V plug.DHarris said:The Lear unit should be under $2,500. USD
