CES 2018 has come to an end but the hype it has created in the world of electric cars is just starting to spread. It is clear that electric cars are becoming more than just cars. They are hi-tech devices on wheels that are connected to the rest of our world. So, it is no surprise that more and more electric cars and EV related technologies are being showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Henrik Fisker and Bob Lutz have teamed up to create a unique new American supercar with a custom carbon fiber body wrapped around a Dodge Viper chassis and drivetrain – with 745 horsepower leading to a top speed of 218 miles per hour.

The Fisker Karma is making a comeback, as the company’s new owners plan to bring the plug-in hybrid sedan to life once more next year. Will the rush to get the Karma back to market hurt its chances of success?

Detroit-based VL Automotive, co-founded by the legendary Bob Lutz, is now part of WMGTA, an electric car maker with Chinese connections.

The sale of Fisker’s assets is now complete. Will the car re-emerge?

The American taxpayers have lost another $139 million subsidizing electric supercars for millionaires. Torque News predicted this outcome a year ago.

A Hamburg based investment group has sent a detailed buyout offer for Fisker Automotive to the Dept. of Energy.

A Bush-era program giving federal loans to support "advanced technology vehicle manufacturing" is under threat from Congress, but it should be ended anyway.

Even though it looks like Fisker Automotive is all but out of business due to crippling financial issues, the Bob Lutz backed VL Destino that is based on the Fisker Karma extended range electric vehicle will carry on – with hundreds of inquiries from current Karma owners who are more interested in supercharged V8 power than they are emission free driving.

Fisker Automotive could files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week as the company faces a massive government loan payment later this month – with the whole situation being complicated by a lawsuit filed by one of the employees who was laid off last Friday that, if successful, could lead to more suits of a similar nature.

Fisker Automotive, struggling to stay afloat amid a long series of problems, is instituting a one-week furlough to save money in parallel with seeking rescue offers from other automakers.

The rescue of Fisker Automotive became more complex with the resignation of Henrik Fisker, and now the departure of Geely from the bidding process.

Henrik Fisker walks away from his dream company citing disagreements with management. Sounds familiar?

Beleaguered Fisker Automotive opened bidding on Feb 6, and has received firm offers from two Chinese automakers, which would sell the luxury plug-in hybrid automaker into foreign control.
