I spent a few days this week with two engineers from Fisker they pointed out something I think owners should know concerning charging you Karma .
First off no matter 220 or 110 when you are ready to charge the car wait till the car goes to sleep before you hook up the charger .
If some of you notice when you stop the car and the engine's fan is running and you plug the charger in the fans more then likely keep running and the car won't full charge .
Also another point after the car is finished charging before you open the door remove the charge cord even if you forgot something in the car if the car wakes up during charging there is a good chance you will get a check engine light on .It has too do with the power load to the on board charger to the Hybrid control unit .
If you follow these easy steps you will avoid charging issues
