Who Should Worry? Fisker Plans To Have A Sub $40K Plug-In Hybrid In Less Than Five Years

Fisker wants to sell a third plug-in hybrid for less than $40,000 with the backing of a major automaker, Executive Chairman Henrik Fisker told MSN Autos on Wednesday.

The California startup, which sells the $103,000 Karma sedan and will introduce the smaller Atlantic sedan next year for roughly half the price, wants to share its technology and production costs with a large automaker starting in 2013. This new third model would be priced less than the Atlantic (pictured) and could be ready in less than five years, Fisker said.

Fisker should worry. The funds needed to get there won't be around after the government stops investing.

This may be a better option than the Volt if Fisker can get it together on the interior. The Karma has the worst car UI ever designed.

In 4 years Tesla will have a car that starts at $30k and will outperform the Model S in handling, speed, and likely range on the higher end models. The Fisker may have a hard time competing with the new Tesla.

If Consumer Reports is even half accurate, the Fisker is a quality control nightmare.
