Will A123 Systems Lands Battery Deal with Fisker Automotive?

“Fisker Automotive selected A123 because of the company’s ability to meet our performance needs and rapidly scale to our production volume,” said Henrik Fisker, Chief Executive Officer of Fisker Automotive. “Fisker is committed to developing environmentally friendly cars that don’t sacrifice style or performance. A123’s technology will ensure the Karma delivers.”
Fisker is aiming to make the Karma one of the cleanest, most fuel-efficient cars in the world while still offering industry-leading style and performance. Clearly, selecting the right battery manufacturer for the Karma is a large part of achieving what Fisker is setting out to accomplish.
The Fisker Karma is expected to have a range of 50 full-electric miles on a charge of A123’s lithium ion battery system and a total range of 300 miles with an on-board generator turned by a traditional but efficient four-cylinder gasoline engine. The Karma features 403hp and is designed to go from 0 to 60 mph in about six seconds, reaching a top speed of 125 mph.
Following up on what was an eventful 2009 for Massachusetts-based A123 Systems, the up and coming battery manufacturer has started off the new decade by striking a battery supply agreement with Fisker Automotive. The recent recipient of nearly $250 million under Pres. Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will manufacture battery systems for the Fisker Karma Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which is slated for release later this year.See more laptop ac adapters, laptop accessories information on usadapter, or just visit here: Acer Aspire 1410 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use);Output: DC19V 3.42A;Power: 65W;Connecter size:;Internal Diameter: 1.5mm ultra slim;External Diameter: 5.5mm )Gateway SADP-65KB B Adapter 65W(Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use);Output: DC19V 3.42A )Toshiba PA3396U-1ACA AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use);Output: DC19V 3.42A)HP 391172-001 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use);Output: DC18.5V 3.5A )HP 371790-001 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V 50-60Hz Output: 18.5V 3.5A Power: 65W)Apple ADP-60AD AC Adapter(Output: DC16.5V 3.65A Power: 60W)Dell Inspiron 1505 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240V (worldwide use)Output: DC19.5V 3.34A)
