While investing in a Fisker Ocean may be a gamble due to the company’s unstable outlook, there is one Fisker offering that stands out as a worthwhile purchase: a high-quality home charger available for just $250. Fortunately, this charger is manufactured by Wallbox, which is likely to provide ongoing support and service.
Fisker’s flagship model is not a worthwhile investment due to plummeting resale values, lack of support for owners after the company’s bankruptcy, and a string of recalls. However, not all of their offerings are a poor choice. On the contrary, Fisker’s charger may be one of the most attractive deals available, making it a savvy purchase.
Fisker is currently offering its 40-amp Level 2 home charging station, bearing its brand name, at a discounted price of $250. What’s more, the charging station, much like the Ocean, is not directly manufactured by Fisker. Instead, the company has partnered with Wallbox to produce the charging station, similar to its collaboration with Magna for the Ocean’s production.
The Fisker charger is essentially a rebranded version of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus, a product from a reputable company in the electric vehicle charging sector. The Pulsar Plus has received widespread acclaim, including a glowing review from charging expert Tom Moloughney, who awarded it 4.6 out of five stars when it first hit the U.S. market. This tied it with two other chargers for the highest rating he had ever given in his extensive testing experience.
Although the Wallbox Pulsar Plus didn’t make the cut for the top chargers of 2024, its significantly reduced price may alter the equation. Tom’s go-to choice is currently the Emporia 48-amp, largely due to its affordability at under $400, but the Pulsar Plus is now an even more budget-friendly option at $250. Typically, this charger sells for $649, but it has been discounted to as low as $500 at some retailers, $450 at Costco, and $549 on Fisker’s website. At this deeply discounted price, the Pulsar Plus is a highly attractive choice.
Additionally, you receive the extra benefit of having Fisker branding. As you charge your 2030 electric vehicle at the same charging point, and Fisker becomes a thing of the past, the logo on the Wallbox is likely to spark discussions. Moreover, you won’t need to be overly concerned about customer service or finding replacement parts. While Fisker’s future appears uncertain, Wallbox’s longevity seems assured.
