Earth2Tech: The Fisker Karma will be a series hybrid like the Volt. Why did the company choose this technology as opposed to a parallel hybrid or an all-electric car? Henrik Fisker: We chose the plug-in hybrid technology because it brings you the best of both the gasoline engine and the pure electric. When you plug in our car everyday you then can go 50 miles on pure electric. The big difference to a normal hybrid is that the Karma will stay in pure electric and, therefore, zero emissions for the first 50 miles. The advantage over a pure electric car is that, just like a gasoline car, we have no range limitation. After having passed the 50 miles on pure electric, you can fill the car up at a gas station and go as far as you want, which is the ultimate freedom, which cars are about.
