Henrik Fisker says he's developing EVs in 'stealth mode'

VLF Automotive added a second model to their small lineup earlier this year. While the
Force 1 sports car continued the company’s tradition of cars with big displacement gas engines, a story by
The Detroit News reveals that corporate partner Henrik Fisker isn’t done with electric cars.

The story is basically an inside look at how the company operates along with some insight on the company from Bob Lutz, one of the founders, and Henrik Fisker. However, among general comments about the company, Fisker told
Detroit News that he’s “definitely working in stealth mode on electric cars of the future.” The news outlet also reported that Fisker said he’s nearing a battery breakthrough and there might be a future electric VLF bearing his name. His interest in continuing with EVs is
consistent with past statements, but this is the first we’ve heard of him actively working on electric car technology.

Fisker wanting to stay under the radar in regards to electric car development is also understandable. His previous self-titled car company showed promise with
the beautiful Karma plug-in hybrid, but it went bankrupt and was sold off to a Chinese car company. The Chinese company renamed itself
Karma and is planning on selling cars again soon. Fisker’s other interim automotive ventures have been met with mixed success. He teamed up with Galpin Auto Sport to create a custom Aston Martin Vanquish and Ford Mustang. The former resulted in
a lawsuit from Aston, and the
latter had polarizing styling.

Setbacks clearly don’t discourage Fisker though, and he even has plenty of things outside of VLF to keep him busy. He’s currently working on
a yacht for boat-builder Benetti, and he told
The Detroit News he even has an idea for a TV show about building cars. For more on Fisker and VLF, check out the whole
