Fisker Will Showcase The Karma At The LA Auto Show

The 2010 LA Auto Show will mark the historic arrival of the modern electric car era. The auto show will host 20 world debuts and more than 30 North American debuts across virtually all vehicle categories.

“We’re excited that the Fisker Karma will be showcased in LA,” said Fisker of Orange County General Manager, Steve Rudkin. “The all- new Fisker Karma sets the standard for luxury electric vehicles, and we’re excited to see what spectators will say,” he said.

The Karma uses Q-DRIVE plug-in hybrid technology, developed exclusively for Fisker Automotive by Quantum Technologies. A fully charged Karma burns no fuel for the first 50 miles. Venture further and the gasoline engine turns a generator to charge the lithium ion battery. Once the 50-mile electric range has been exceeded, the car operates as a normal hybrid vehicle.

The balance of electric and gas range makes it entirely possible that Karma drivers who charge their car overnight and commute less than 50 miles a day will achieve an average fuel economy of 100 mpg (2.4L/100km) per year.
