Today, Henrik Fisker resigned from his namesake car company.  Four years ago I interviewed +Fisker Automotive automotive founder Henrik Fisker at the 2009 North American International about the Karma. At that time, Fisker was planning to use a battery pack from a company called Advanced Lithium Power but they were eventually replaced by now-bankrupt A123 Systems. At the time, Fisker also claimed the car would be in full production by the end of that year, something which didn't actually happen until more than two years later.  

Fisker also claimed that the company had 1,300 pre-orders for the Karma and planned to build 15,000 a year. During the 18 months or so that Fisker was building cars until suspending production as a result of the A123 bankruptcy, they shipped about 2,000 cars and at this point it's not clear if any more will ever get built.
