California-based Fisker Inc. will the wraps off the production version of its all-electric EMotion sedan at January's consumer electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas.
CEO Henrik Fisker says the car will be equipped with lidar sensors and be capable of level 4 driving autonomy. Design cues include a wedge profile, snub-nose hood, flared fenders and butterfly doors that open upward.
The car’s electric drivetrain includes two electric motors and a LG Chem lithium-ion battery. The combination provides a 400-mile driving range. A fast-charging system can provide 125 miles of range in just nine minutes, according to the carmaker. Earlier this year Fisker dropped plans to use a solid-state graphene energy storage system being developed by its Nanotech battery division.
Fisker began taking $2,000 deposits for the $129,000 EMotion this summer. The carmaker says it will select a production site before the end of the year and launch the vehicle sometime in 2019. An entry-level model is due in about five years to compete against Tesla Inc.’s new Model 3 electric car.
