Fisker Automotive Signs Up 32 Dealers To Sell Karma

Irvine-based Fisker Automotive has signed up 32 new-car dealers with eight in California and the rest covering 15 states and British Columbia, bringing Fisker close to its goal of having 40 locations across the country by the end of June 2009.

They'll be selling the $87,900, 100mpg Karma plug-in hybrid sedan which so far has 1,300 pre-orders with delivery starting in early 2010. Fisker says all orders received from mid-January onwards will be delivered in the second half of 2010. Effective Jan. 1 the deposit amount is $5,000. Fisker is also accepting deposits of $25,000 for the convertible FISKER KARMA S.

Fisker told the Motor Press Guild recently that he hopes to sell 15,000 Karmas annually. The Karma is powered by electric motors running off lithium ion batteries with a gasoline generator to extend their range.
