Fisker Pear: Launch from the end of 2025
Henrik Fisker is also known for his way of thinking about cars more simply: As he now explained to the "Autocar" platform, the decisive factor for a profitable sale of the PEAR, which is to start in the USA at $29,900 before taxes, is a cost-efficient, tailor-made architecture that has nothing to do with the Ocean. And: As few components as possible! He explained to "Autocar":
"When we started with the PEAR, I told the engineers to remove 25 percent of all parts. Just eliminate them. Find a way. It was agonizing. We had meetings every other day for months, and they managed to eliminate 35 percent of all parts in the car."
Two central computers instead of many control units
They have also developed their own cost-efficient electronic architecture for the approximately 4.55-meter-long PEAR, which requires only two computers to operate the entire vehicle. It is said to compute very quickly and consume little power. On the powertrain side, the PEAR is to be offered with two battery options: The first is to enable a range of 320 kilometers according to WLTP, the second 560 kilometers, of which, in the worst-case scenario, rather close to 200 and 400 respectively are likely to remain. According to Fisker, the PEAR will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and will be offered with both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. The portfolio is also to include a performance version, the PEAR Extreme.
According to the CEO, talks are currently underway with a production partner. According to previous statements, manufacturing of the PEAR in the US start-up's home market is to be taken over by the Taiwanese technology company Foxconn. The first prototypes of the PEAR are to hit the road in 2024, before customer vehicles are delivered from the end of 2025, according to Henrik Fisker.
The series is also expected to include the two-row, six-seat layout, an isolated frunk that keeps food warm or cool and odors out of the cabin, the "Houdini" trunk lid that retracts with minimal space to improve access to luggage in tight spaces, and a lounge mode that can transform the seats into beds. Fisker knows he needs to offer something special here:
"We are not bringing a Fisker vehicle to market unless it has at least four unique features. If I were just building another electric car the size of a Volkswagen Polo, you could forget about me, because why would anyone buy this car?"
Visually, the PEAR actually resembles a large Fiat Panda. However, Fiat has unfortunately missed the opportunity to make this statement in the mid-range. It'll be interesting to see how the PEAR is received.
What does that mean?
With the PEAR, Fisker is taking a bolder step than with the Ocean. It is likely to be the more exciting car overall and reach significantly more customers. Let's hope that by 2025, all the bucks have been ironed out and the car is truly ready for market. The ideas are clever!
