#grahene Fisker's first stab at an electric car went up in flames, literally. His company, #FiskerAutomotive, was the force behind an electric hybrid called the Fisker Karma in 2012. The $100,000 car had a host of battery issues that caused the automaker and its battery supplier, A123 Systems, to recall more than 600 Karmas, Wired reported at the time. Separately, the Karma was known to burst into flames, which was said to be caused by the engine compartment rather than the battery. Fisker Automotive went bankrupt in 2011. But, as first reported by Bloomberg, Fisker is back and working on an electric car under the newly minted Fisker Inc. that will be revealed in 2017. Fisker is currently producing his supercar, the Force 1, though VLF automotive. He is best known as the automotive designer behind iconic cars like the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin DB9.
