The 2012 Fisker Karma is the latest addition to the growing list of new vehicles available in British Columbia that qualify under the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) Point of Sale Incentive Program. The Karma, a battery electric vehicle with extended range, qualifies for a discount of up to $5,000 off the pre-tax sticker price when purchased or leased at a new car dealer in BC.
The Karma brings to 16 the number of vehicles now qualifying under the program, which kicked off December 1st. “The addition of the Fisker name to our list of qualifying vehicles is great news for consumers here in BC,” says Blair Qualey, President and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of BC. “The CEV for BC program is here to make a significant contribution to the greening of the provincial economy and we’re excited to be able to make new clean energy technology more accessible to those looking to purchase or lease a new vehicle.”
Fisker Automotive is an American auto manufacturer, founded in 2007, that produces luxury Electric Vehicles with extended range (EVer). EVer is Fisker’s proprietary plug-in hybrid electric powertrain, which consists of an efficient gasoline engine, an electric generator, a Lithium-ion battery pack, and two electric motors at the rear wheels.
For the Karma sedan, charging a fully depleted battery requires approximately six hours using a 220V/40A outlet (standard in Europe and widely available in homes in Canada and the U.S for electrical appliances) or approximately 14 hours using a standard Canadian household 110V outlet.
The CEV Incentive Program, accessible through 199 participating new car dealers across the province, is intended to encourage and accelerate the sale of clean energy vehicles and technology innovation within British Columbia. It’s an initiative of the BC Ministry of Environment, LiveSmart BC in partnership with the New Car Dealers Association of BC.
