The Fisker Emotion electric car will make its public debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week - and a new picture has shown the car that'll be displayed.
Due to arrive in the UK in 2020, offering a 400-mile-plus range from its electric powertrain, the Emotion is claimed to feature "state of the art" graphene solid-state batteries that can receive 125 miles of charge in as little as nine minutes.
Company boss Henrik Fisker told Autocar that this is possible thanks to the batteries' "world-highest energy density" - 2.5 times that of lithium ion batteries.
The Emotion, which is said to have a top speed of 161mph, will be autonomous-capable and able to connect to its environment - necessary puzzle pieces for full driverless capability. Key to its autonomous functions will be a lidar sensor, hidden in the car's front central darkened area. This can map the world around the car in 3D.
The Emotion, with its four butterfly doors, was designed by Fisker, who previously designed models including the Aston Martin DB9 and BMW Z8.

Graphemes battery technology
Anyone who cares can Google grapheme battery technology will immediately see that whilst there have been many claims of fantastic improvements with grapheme compated to Li-on polymer nobody has yet produced a battery for independent testing. Who knows what the future holds but currently it is only snake oil salesmen that claim the technology is production ready.
Before any major Motor manufacturer dumps ICE for EV a real world range of about 300 miles plus is needed for a similar retail price as current diesel cars. I suggest £20k -£35k price range.

This is again going the way
