Fisker has launched its Emotion electric luxury saloon at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – and there’s a vegan option.
The long-awaited Tesla rival, with eye-catching looks and dramatic ‘butterfly’ doors, has a non-animal interior available for those who don’t want the premium leather interior of the show car.
And it’s not just a pretty face. The Fisker offers cutting-edge EV technologies, most notably a 400-mile range and a top speed of 161mph – though both won’t be achievable at the same time.
The Fisker Emotion is expected to be on sale in 2020 and cost $129,900, or about £96,000 at current exchange rates.
Size and performance-wise the four-wheel drive Emotion has plenty in common with Elon Musk’s four-door Tesla Model S, but the Fisker has a lot of carbon fibre and aluminium in its make-up so should be lighter than the popular American saloon that has become the benchmark for electric cars.
In a separate CES display, Fisker is showing solid-state battery technology which they claim will be able to put a usable range into an EV in just one minute.
This tech, stated for release in 2020, could lift the Emotion’s single-charge range above 500 miles.
Available in four- or five-seat formats, the Emotion has the same four upward-opening butterfly doors first revealed in the concept car in November 2016, which can be opened conventionally via flush-fitting external handles, or remotely by smartphone.
