I'm planning an installation of a level 2 charger in my garage at home. And I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for (or against) particular chargers?
I know people look for different things in their chargers. The ability to program the charger for certain hours or to turn it on/off remotely via a smartphone app doesn't hold that much appeal for me. What does appeal to me is a charger that would not require me to handle the cord itself after it has been dragged across the floor of the garage (I'm a bit of a germ-phobe and hand washer).
I noticed the GE Wattstation Pedestal has a retractable cord. It's also quite beautiful. Does anyone out there have any experience using it? http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/25/ge-wattstation-wattstation-connect-charging-evs/
Also, as other fiskerbuzz members have noted, Control Module Industries makes a nifty overhead charger with a retractable cord. Does anyone have one of these in their garage? http://controlmod.com/pdfs/EVSE_garage.pdf
Thanks in advance for any information/opinions/recommendation!!
