Henrik Fisker is back, promising 400-plus-mile EV in 2017

Henrik Fisker, formerly of BMW, Aston Martin and Fisker, has relaunched his own car company, which will once again be called Fisker, Bloomberg reports. This time around the 53-year-old Danish automotive designer and entrepreneur will focus on electric cars and promises to reveal an all-new EV in the latter half of 2017 that will pick up where the Karma sedan left off.

"For the last two years, I have been looking at battery technologies and wanted to see if there was something that could really give us a new paradigm," Fisker told Bloomberg. "We had the strategy of developing the technology as fast as possible without getting tied down to a large organization, which would hold us back. Now we have the technology that nobody else has. And there is nobody even close to what we are doing out there."
