Fisker Is Back With A New Electric Supercar That Will Cover 400 Miles Between Charges
Mainstream electric cars will soon be one step closer, whether we like it or not.
Henrik Fisker has announced that his next big project, the all-electric Fisker Emotion, will have a range of 400 miles. This comes after the company was resurrected following bankruptcy in 2013.
Leaps in battery technology involving graphene, a relatively new material based on carbon sheets just one atom thick, mean that the Emotion should be able to overcome its own weight and deliver both serious performance and impressive range.
That, of course, opens the door for mainstream car makers to adopt the technology on a larger scale, lowering costs and fitting it to everyday cars.
The first pictures of the Emotion have been released, showing the now-familiar grille-less electric car nose already used by Tesla, but the battery tech is coming straight from Fisker Inc’s sister company, Fisker Nanotech.
Among the claims is that the batteries will last longer and recharge faster. There will even be autonomous driving modes, with software supplied by third party companies. All this won’t come cheap, though, with production volumes likely to be low and cost certain to be high.
But there’s a second, cheaper model on the way, Fisker says. The dawn of the electric car era can’t be too far away.

Fisker. On target to become the next DeLorean.
I wonder how much cocaine you can fit in the spare tire.
Probably with enough room to smuggle el chapo across the border
Enough for Trump to make a wall.
Hahaha . Dude best comment ever
Definitely looks better than the Karma but im not a fan of the rear doors
Henrik, Just don’t.
Them rear doors look like it makes it 300% harder to get out of the rear seats
At least you will still have fingers.
I rather have a Tesla or a V8 swapped verison of the Fisker a.k.a the VLF Destino.
Fisher: the cheaper alternative to Tesla. And more prone to catching fire.
Are you sure you arent talking about Zenvo? :-)
“The dawn of the electric car era can’t be too far away.”
I’m in California. Home of the electric car, but I still have adverts on TV wanting me to keep my air conditioning down to 79 degrees because we don’t have enough electricity.
That is fantastic. Amazing how, in their attempt to be environmentally conscious, they forgot to provide basic necessities to their residents. Yay California!!
Where do you live CA? I’ve been in the Bay Area for 12 years and never seen such an announcement.
Finaly tesla haves a serious rival.
Seriously? They haven’t even made a successful car yet. Their first car was or is a flop show. Meanwhile Tesla is about to launch their 4th car…
How the hell are they really going to build this? Does Fisker not remember that he went bankrupt? Tesla is very much a globally successful company whereas Fisker is yet to show any real potential of generating a profit
I thought it was a tesla model x lol
You know what else goes and the comes back?? Karma
