See Fisker EMotion Driven In Public – Videos
The Fisker EMotion all-electric sports car was recently seen in Los Angeles and, as expected, it’s a rather spectacular looking machine when spotted amongst regular cars.
Henrik Fisker gave it a short test drive and expressed his impatience on the upcoming solid-state batteries. This public display confirms one of the questions we asked of Henrik Fisker in a recent exclusive interview:
Is the prototype drivable, and if so, how much of the hardware/software that motivates it will be carried over into production?
- Yes, not much, as we still have a lot of development to do.
The company claims that its solid-state cells show high durability during 5C charge/discharge cycles:
Insider news: Last week we did several cycles of 5C rates (12-minute charge, discharge) and our solid state cells recovered to 100% capacity. Now this is getting really exciting.

Moving on, the production EMotion will see its energy needs fulfilled by LG Chem batteries for now until solid-state technology is ready for commercialization.
Lastly, as for when we’ll see production begin on the EMotion, Fisker responded to that question of ours too:
How far along is the engineering of the production version of the EMotion?
- We have at least 20 more months to go, and we may delay the launch to incorporate our solid-state batteries from the start.
Fisker EMotion specs:
- 400-mile range (145 kWh LG Chem battery)
- 575 kW electric motors (all-wheel drive)
- 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds
- 161 mph top speed
- starts from $129,000

But will it be a reverse Tardis on the inside like the Karna?

He should leave the interiors to someone else. Outside is spectacular.
Well, that was a fascinating. Can he at least show us something happening. Be like Jaguar, Tesla or Missouri, SHOW ME!
Solid state batteries could be 4 or more years from commercial viability. Will investors keep doling out the cash till then?
Making progress, now the prototype can get up to 20 MPH. I love how “journalists” are still taking this guy seriously and believing what he says after he literally claimed to have a patent on a DVD Burner with those supercapacitors he told that fantastic lie about, including how they were already in production. Did you guys all take Gullibility 203: How to Believe Without Question for your degrees? Or was it Write Like You Were Born Yesterday 426 that did the trick?
Over a year and a half ago Fisker claimed his company was “coming out of stealth mode.” Where are the facilities? Who works there? Who invested in it? Are there any photos of anyone working on the car?
With other start-ups when they reveal their prototype we meet a bunch of the top staff…with Fisker we just get more of Fisker. Just Fisker at CES, just Fisker in interviews. Is Fisker intending to be the first one man automotive company?
