Henrik Fisker has confirmed on his official Twitter page that the new EMotion will make its debut in August this year. The first product to come from his new setup – Fisker Inc – the upcoming electric vehicle (EV) is claimed to offer over 644 km of range on single charge.
In a separate tweet, Fisker dropped more details about the EV, which will utilise carbon-fibre and aluminium in its construction. This will allow it to have a structure that is 20% lighter than other cars in size, namely the Tesla Model S.
Meanwhile, on another social media posting (this time on Facebook), Fisker Inc states the EMotion will be capable of level six autonomous driving, which is one more than SAE International’s standard. The sixth level is unique to the EMotion, and when activated, “will allow Fisker EMotion to drive extra aggressive and push all other autonomous vehicles to the side,” as the company puts it.

“This will allow the Fisker EMotion owners to get quicker to work than any owner of any other autonomous vehicle,” concludes the Facebook post’s caption.
Business Insider also reports that the EMotion will have a top speed of 259 km/h, and will be built at VLF Automotive’s plant in Detroit, which is also where the Force 1 is made. That impressive all-electric range will be provided by new-age battery technology, which uses graphene supercapacitors instead of traditional lithium ion batteries.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Every car manufacturer already moving towards EV and PHEV from old technology Hybrid.
Now, not only EV, they are racing towards who can do the furtherest EV, like this Fisker doing 644KM. Now global car companies are making their batteries come out with more juice.
In Malaysia, even 10 year old Hybrid technology our National car tarak ada. Don’t even talk about EV, PHEV and improving on the EV.
What are our Proton engineers doing in the plant and office?
Coming out with real cars instead of nice photochops?
Too many hyped up EV cars with “superhuman” capabilities.
The only one who has delivered so far is only Tesla.
Yup… it ain’t real until it reaches the showroom.
This guy had once ‘betrayed’ Musk by working behind own company’s new product while Tesla engaged him for Model S design earlier. After failing on earlier model, thought this man and his company had fallen. Looks like still fighting for success. Looks great though
But one thing just notice, the rear doors opening too wide, it eats too much exterior space in order to jump in/out. Compares to Model X, its gullwing door more practical.
How long will this last? Same as LeEco?
Congratulation 2 Fisker 4 achieving level 6 autonomous driving, which is one more than SAE International’s standard.
I hope it will filter down 2 smaller vehicles 4 Asean market like us where a smaller/cheaper 2 maintain/own will be a dream come true hopefully in 2 years time otherwise it is just 4 us 2 see/read but Not 2 own.
Fisker should make a successor to the Karma that has an engine as a range extender.
