Fisker Karma
EV Connect announced that it has entered an agreement last Wednesday in which it will install and service charging stations for Fisker Karma owners and all 47 Fisker Automotive Inc. dealerships. The electric vehicle equipment provider, which is based in Culver City, Calif., will serve as the exclusive contact for purchase and maintenance of Fisker charging stations. EV Connect will have the charging equipment shipped to homes or businesses.
It will also handle permitting procedures and install the equipment. In an interview, Brett Hauser, COO of EV Connect, said that Fisker is “very focused” on achieving a high level of customer satisfaction and that aside from the charge station, other aspects have to be worked on, including the inspection, acquiring the permits, and coordinating with utilities. In addition, EV Connect said equipment installation will start in July. Fisker, which is based in Anaheim, Calif., makes the plug-in hybrid electric Karma that sells for $95,900.
Fisker’s production of the Karma started in March at Valmet Automotive's plant in Uusikaupunki, Finland. Fisker got a $529 million federal loan in 2009 that is being spent to retool a former General Motors plant in Delaware that will assemble its next model, the more affordable Nina, in 2013.
