"On Tuesday, April 27, the world’s first premium plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the Fisker Karma will begin a two-month marketing tour that will stop in three Canadian provinces and 26 US states targeting 42 cities. The Karma has a total range of 300 miles, 50 of which are electric-only and powered by a lithium-ion battery that can be fully recharged in as little as eight hours. The battery was designed by A123 Systems (NAS:AAONE)."
"Fisker Karma is an ultimate EV marketing machine - it is just beautiful. We have seen it, touched and sit inside. This is the Electric Car. Aluminium body and bold design lines from Fisker makes you feel safe and with limitless power on the road - it is a status symbol, but with a Green twist. This car will not bring us reaches in Lithium market, but it will bring people close to EV mass market. Range Extender technology cuts Range Anxiety and celebrity look will make heads turn on the roads, Nissan Leafs and GM Volts will take the lead on the mass market side of things, but this one is for ultimate pleasure of being Green."
