Henrik Fisker talks about the $40k Fisker, Solid State Batteries and more

CleanTechnica's Kyle Field Interviews Henrik Fisker in Los Angeles on August 30th, 2018. They talk about the $40k Fisker, Solid State Batteries, Fisker EMotion, Fisker Orbit pilot program in the US and more.

It took 15 years to sell the first million EV's. It took 18 months for it to hit 2 million. It only took 3 months to hit 3 million. If it moves it will be electric by 2030 and in all likelyhood it will be autonomous.

Very nice. More affordable EVs but Fisker's cars are more good looking.

We'll all need to wait to see when the solid state battery comes to market to see if Fisker will pan out. Right now it's a lot of talk.

The success of an electric car program is fully dependent on the battery. A battery technology has to balance the challenges with cost, safety, weight, degradation, and scalability. If their solid state battery falls short of any of these metrics, the program could be compromised. High levels of risk, high levels of reward, high levels of uncertainty.

Nano Crystal Electricity and the Graphene or the "Solid State Battery" all add up to want we absolutely need in the future!! Lithium Ion Batteries have been around for almost 20 years now and are definitely "Old School" Technology. For Elon Musk to continue with those batteries is going to be a stalemate and sink his company. Henrik Fisker has always been an innovator and he is on the right track! Hoping that the rest of the World jumps onboard with this tech. At some point, it would be incredible to see "Electric Car Charging Stations" that have a 60 inch x 30 inch "pad" that the car would drive over and the entire process of doing a full charge in 42 minutes would be accomplished by "Electrical Induction Technology" no more plug in!! Just park your electric car over the pad and wait approximately 42 minutes and you are back on the road with a full charge!!

It's all BS, nothing more nothing less. Especially solid state batteries. Extreme levels of BS.
