Fisker PEAR comes earlier than expected

Two days ago, the owner of the American company Fisker, Henrik Fisker, announced on his Instagram profile the arrival of the new PEAR prototype. Thus, the inexpensive car will be presented earlier than expected.

“Foxconn being the world’s largest manufacturer, if there’s anyone who can truly go in and take a look and be innovative (in auto manufacturing) it’s probably them,” said Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.

After the Fisker Ocean model, which should arrive on the market soon, the company announces the arrival of a compact crossover. As expected, the resemblance to the bigger and older sibling is obvious, and the previous teaser has already been unveiled as this model will be more similar to the classic compact.

For now, there is not much information about this model, and the company announced that it is a revolutionary car. Obviously, this applies primarily to design, as it is known that Fisker PEAR will only be offered as EV.

Production will begin in late 2023, and should hit the market in 2024. According to the company, this inexpensive EV will cost around 29,900 USD. 250,000 units will be produced for North America, Europe and the Chinese market.

Fisker Project PEAR

Fisker has joined forces with Taiwanese company Foxconn Technology Group to produce a new electric vehicle in the Project PEAR (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution) whose production would begin in late 2023.

“Foxconn being the world’s largest manufacturer, if there’s anyone who truly can go in and take a look and be innovative (in auto manufacturing) it’s probably them,” said Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.

Unlike other companies, such as Tesla TSLA, which spend billions of dollars on their own manufacturing plants, Fisker relies on contract manufacturing of its vehicles.

After Foxconn developed a platform for future electric vehicles, Foxconn Technology Group Chairman Young-way Liu said “The key success elements of electric vehicle development include the electric motor, electric control module and battery. We have two major advantages in this regard, with an exceptional vertically integrated global supply chain and the best supply chain management team in our industry. ” He also noted “The collaboration between our firms means that it will only take 24 months to produce the next Fisker vehicle – from research and development to production, reducing half of the traditional time required to bring a new vehicle to market.”

So far, it is known that the vehicle will be smaller and cheaper than the Ocean model. The vehicle will be sold in North America, Europe and China, and up to 250,000 units will be produced.
