After replacing the Tesla Wall Connector in my garage, here are some initial thoughts on using the Fisker Wallbox Charger for the past week.

@seancallahan Thanks for the video! It seems that the Fisker-branded charger LED ring is green and not blue as is shown on the Fisker website and the first picture of your post. Could you please confirm?
Or does it change based on status?

The “halo” changes based on status. It’s probably listed somewhere online. I believe it’s green when idle and blue when in use. Also, I believe there is way to turn off the halo in the myWallbox app when it is not in use. I like it on as it brightens up our dark garage especially at night.

Since you mentioned a dark garage, does the Ocean's charge port opening have a light anywhere?

The charge port area has an indicator light on the right hand side. It’s green, red, and blue.

Light changes depending on status.

@seancallahan I was referring to illumination of the port. I know some cars have lighted ports to make it easier to connect at night or in a dark garage.

No illumination of port that I can see. The status light is bright enough to guide the charger into the port.

You didn't explain in the video, but why was the conduit changed? Cleaner look? Did you have any issues unhooking the old Tesla wall connector and hooking up the Wallbox?

Let me highlight some of the lights that are on the Fisker, and the Wallbox.
As you saw in Sean's video, the halo lights were steady green, meaning powered up and ready. These lights turn blue, when you are actively connected to a car, and charging.
And, on the Fisker, the charge point does have LED lighting, to give status and help illuminate in dark areas. It is an arrow shaped light, pointing toward the charge port. It is blue when it is ready to charge, and green when it is charging.
What you don't want to see is the dreaded red light (could be blinking red) - that means it will not take any charging.
