BTW....I just checked and the Karma is fully charged.
Anyone know who the manufacturer of the stock charger is?

This is not a direct answer to your question, but the information may be relevant. There has been some discussion about Fisker's convenience charger, and consensus appears to be that it is not particularly reliable and not worth fixing. See this thread for more information.Does anyone have information on what the trouble codes on the stock charger mean?:huh:
I've been using the stock charger for over a year without issue.
This morning there is a red light and a repeating code.
2-1-2
I brought the charger into the house and tried a different outlet and the code changed to 2-1-3
I can't seem to catch a break!
Thanks in advance!
JC, do you have a link to the one you purchased?I got one from TurboCord recently that I like, because it can plug into 110v or 220v outlets, and it's small. Fits in a bag in the same spot the old charger fit into in the trunk. Have only had it a week, though. So, can't say anything about long term reliability.
Is your charger still working despite the Morse-coded error message? If that's the case, the error may not be very serious, or something transient that may pass.Thanks for the info Fabulist.
I guess I need to start researching new charger options...
I don't know if it's working or not....I'll have to drive the car and then try and charge it.Is your charger still working despite the Morse-coded error message? If that's the case, the error may not be very serious, or something transient that may pass.
I assume you mean the Fisker-branded Level 2 charger. See this thread and especiallty its attachment for details on the fault codes:Does anyone have information on what the trouble codes on the stock charger mean?:huh:
Just be sure to check on the charger before you go to bed to make sure it is not overheating. Error code 2-1-3 is not very specific, it just indicates an internal fault.OK, took the car for a short drive and have plugged the charger back into it even though the code is still on it.
The charge indicator inside the car is illuminated.
Checked after about 15 minutes and the error code is still flashing on the charger.
I'll report back tomorrow and let you know if the car charged or not....I have doubts ......
@specialK, Looking at the photo you posted, I noticed that only two of the four green lights are lit. This means that the charger is in low current (6A) mode as opposed to its normal 12A mode. This doubles the charging time. You can cycle between modes by pressing the big Orange button. If the charger seems to be to working OK, you may as well get full power out of it.I was incorrect, my charger is not orange. It is black with an orange power cord and an orange button on it![]()
It was worth a shot. I guess you are going to be EVSE (the technical name for the external connector to an EV) shopping, or burning some gas for a while. The Turbo Cord looks very interesting. I have been considering getting one. If you do get one, let us know how it works.OK, the car has been on the charger overnight and as expected the charger is still displaying the error code and the car did not charge.
@Fabulist.....if the charger were functional I would love to push the orange button and charged at the 12 amp rate.
But that darn glowing red light wont let me do much of anything except watch the sequence in which it flashes the error code.
Good tip though for those that are still using their Lear charger....wish I was![]()
