We wouldn’t suggest getting a Fisker Ocean at any price, as the company’s future is uncertain. However, there is one Fisker deal we can’t resist: a fantastic home charger for $250. Don’t worry—the charger is manufactured by Wallbox, so you should be able to receive support for it for the foreseeable future.
Fisker’s main product isn’t a great buy. With values plummeting, owners desperate for post-bankruptcy support, and a series of recalls, we wouldn’t recommend going near an Ocean with anything less than an 11-foot pole. But that doesn’t mean everything the company sells is a poor investment. In fact, Fisker might have one of the best charger deals on the market.
The company is offering its Fisker-branded 40-amp Level 2 home charging station for just $250 right now. And there’s even better news: like the Ocean, the company’s charging station isn’t actually made by Fisker. Just as it partnered with Magna to build the Ocean, it had Wallbox construct its home charging station.
The Fisker charger is simply a rebranded version of the Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Wallbox is a trusted name in the industry, and the Pulsar Plus is an excellent charger. When the company initially offered it for sale in the U.S., our charging expert Tom Moloughney gave it 4.6 out of 5 stars. That tied it with two other chargers for the highest-rated charger he had ever tested.
It wasn’t on his “Best Chargers of 2024” list, but this ultra-discounted price might change the equation. Tom says the Emporia 48-amp is his current favorite, in no small part because of its sub-$400 price. However, at $250, the Wallbox Pulsar Plus is an even more affordable option. Typically, the charger retails for $649. It is sometimes discounted further—I’ve seen it priced at $500 at some retailers, $450 at Costco, and most recently $549 on Fisker’s own website. At $250, it’s a no-brainer.
Plus, you get the added novelty of Fisker branding. When you’re charging your 2030 EV on the same charging station and Fisker is just a distant memory, the logo on the Wallbox is bound to be a conversation starter. And you shouldn’t need to worry too much about customer service or replacement parts. While Fisker’s days seem numbered, Wallbox is likely here to stay.
