The Aerovironment Turbocord according to the company behind it offers both 240-volt/16-amperage and 120-volt charging options that allow it to charge nearly three times faster meaning less than three hours for plug-in hybrids and less than six hours for full battery electrics. It is said to require no charger installation meaning you simply just plug it directly into a wall outlet. Weighing less than five pounds and with a cord that's 20 feet long this device offers a range of features including a LED charging indicator waterproofing for outdoor charging all-environment operation and built-in thermal sensors for protection against faulty wiring or inadequate power. The design seems to have been well thought out as on one end of the cord there is a small and rugged module that contains all of the miniaturized electronics which plugs directly into the wall outlet.
