Here is the first image of a high voltage home charging unit prototype. We first noticed the unit mentioned in a press release about a month ago. However, until now never got a chance to see an actual picture.
Russell Datz from Fisker Automotive says:
“The unit will be available to Karma buyers as an option – price to be determined, but nothing outrageous. It will enable US owners to charge their Karmas in about 6 hours. A full 50 mile charge costs about $2 based on a US average electric rate of $0.10/kWh.”
Most of the time the car will not require a full charge so to top off it off will take much less time.
The unit is manufactured by Lear Corporation based in Southfield, MI. They are also working on parts and charging units for the Chevrolet Volt, as well as hybrid models from BMW, Land Rover and Renault.
