It’s amazing but at the same time scary of how many things you can buy online at the touch of a button, without ever leaving the comfort of your chair.
Adding to the long list of products one can acquire on the web is General Electric’s ‘WattStation’ wall mount charger for pure electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles that is now available directly to U.S. consumers though Amazon.
“As demand and interest in the GE WattStation continues to grow, we’re excited to give our customers an easy way to purchase the charger,” said Sergio Corbo, chief marketing officer for GE Energy’s Industrial Solutions business. “We believe the product is well-suited to an online purchasing experience.”
The WattStation is priced on the online retailer’s website at $1,099 with free shipping. The wall mounted charger measures 24 inches tall, 16 inches wide and 6 inches deep, and comes with a flexible cord that wraps around the unit.
GE claims that, whereas plugging an EV into a standard electrical outlet would require 12-18 hours to provide a full-cycle charge to a 24 kWh battery, the WattStation can do the same in four to eight hours.
