So that new Fisker car came out and it looks cool. Then, when the auto reporters dig in a bit, you find out it's really pretty sad. The battery taking up the interior space makes it unattractive to me.
2012 Fisker Karma: Motoramic Drives | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos
Sixty miles an hour arrives in 6.3 seconds, slower than sporty versions of the Toyota Camry.
"There's a misconception that small equal fuel economy," Fisker says, adding that "the Karma can be driven more fuel efficiently than the Prius." That's no guarantee that it will be, or that every driver will get even Prius-level efficiency. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rates the Karma as having 32 miles of electric-only range, a 52 mpg-e overall rating and only 20 mpg when its engine runs; Fisker claims careful drivers could get well over 100 mpg and 40 electric-only miles on a full charge. My 62-mile test drive though the hills and clogged streets of Los Angeles averaged about 30 mpg.
