GE has launched their new residential electric-car charger that promises to be faster and more user-friendly than traditional charging stations. The new GE WattStation is a residential version of the companies public charger released in July.

The WattStation will also tap into the smart-grid technology managed by utility companies, allowing them to manage the overall impact of electric cars on their local and regional power grids.
will provide the names of certified electricians who can install the charger at a consumer's home.
