The Nina hasn’t even made its expected debut yet, and Fisker Automotive has once again hit a severe bump in the road, as A123 Systems have announced the batteries for the 2012 Karma will have to be recalled.
The major manufacturer of EV batteries announced this is not a recall, but that it’s just a fix of the issue that lead to the Karma plug-in hybrid shutting down during recent testing by Consumer Reports.
David Vieau, CEO of A123 Systems, said he was "disappointed and frustrated with this situation. This is a new industry with a new technology that's in the process of a learning curve," he said. "There will be challenges."
On March 8th, Consumer Reports posted this headline: "Bad Karma: Our Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid breaks down,” adding that the battery needed to be replaced after just 180 mile.
