Tough Time But, At Last, EMotion is here

In 2014, Fisker Automotive became Fisker Inc thanks to the company Wanxiang America Corp.

However, it has not enjoyed the acceptance that everyone expected, having less luck than the other competitors despite being one of the forerunners of this era of plug-in hybrids.

Fisker is in the final development of the EMotion, according to The Verge.

The new eMotion is made on a frame of carbon fiber and aluminum , and as mentioned above, the batteries have used graphene, one of the latest advances in battery technology. These have been developed by a joint venture between the designer and Nanotech Energy Inc . Promising a range around 400 miles, which come to be just over 640 km of range, according to Green Car Reports.

Another detail that has been revealed is the announcement of the incorporation of a new autonomous driving system. This system would not be developed by Fisker itself but by an external provider, which has not been revealed at the moment but is said to be as good as Tesla Model S full self-driving capability.
