Presented for the first time in 2008 at the North American International Auto Show, the Fisker Karma is an Electric Vehicle with extended range (EVer) luxury sports sedan developed by Fisker Automotive.

Technically the Karma is a series hybrid, driven by a a pair of electric motors with a combined output of 403hp which are powered by a 20kWh Lithium Ion battery supplied by A123 Systems or a 175kW generator spun by an efficient, 2.0L gas engine. The engine is mated with a generator to provide an electrical connection to the motors and also recharge the batteries and as such the electric motors are the only mechanical driving force connected to the wheels.

Included in the Karma as standard is a solar paneled roof which not only aids to recharge the Lithium-Ion batteries but also to aid the cabin climate control system.
