The electric vehicle builder Fisker already has the lithium-ion powered Karma sedan and soon to be Karma Sunset convertible. But for 2010 the Tesla Motors competitor would like to offer something different, a more compact plug-in vehicle. "We’re first doing the four-door and then we’re doing the convertible and then we’re planning some third derivative off the Karma platform. Then we’re planning a high-volume vehicle for a lower price. We’ve applied for a Department of Energy grant. If that loan comes through, we’ll have this vehicle on the road in 29 months" said Fisker himself. .
19 comments: Fisker will add smaller electric car in 2010 This one more point coming from WWF German study.The carbon dioxide emission reductions from 1 million electrical vehicles in Germany’s transportation sector would be only 1 percent, according to the study, and overall national carbon dioxide emissions would only be cut by 0.1 percent. Acoording to Raddatz that is not a very big significant for the reason that it is not going to help Germany out of the transportation emission mess.
 Michelle’s post got me thinking. Because if the source of electricity still comes from the non-renewable energy such as burning of fossil fuels, then the invention of "green cars" would be pointless.
 It could be possible that this car will be tag as a green car because it uses electricity to run. But the question is, how much are they consuming? And what is the source of the energy that supplies the electricity to the car? Is it really a "green car?"
 I’ve been seeing new cars everyday and I can’t help but be amazed everytime I see one. Makes me want to buy my own one someday.
 Well, the karma looks happy. I hope the compact karma, will it a roadster, maybe, a sporty mini perhaps, a hot hatch wagon like Prius, I hope Fisker can catch up with Tesla’s marketing plan.
 I just hope Fisker will not get fisked with their plans and the loans that might pull themdown in the bankrupcy drain once their line fail to set a lasting market impression.
