This is our first look at the 2024 Fisker PEAR

A couple of weeks ago, Henrik Fisker announced plans to build an all-electric four-door convertible with the longest range of any production electric car. It has been christened Project Ronin, and apparently the production version will be ready in 2024.

Let’s bring it back down to earth for a second, though, because there’s another Fisker project in the works with a 2024 deadline, and this one is a little more real-world. We first learnt about the PEAR (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution) back in February, but only now are we seeing a glimpse of it for the first time.

Is it an SUV? Is it a crossover? Is it a bog-standard hatchback? Who knows. Henrik says: “The PEAR will be a revolutionary electric vehicle that won’t fit into any existing segment. The exterior design will feature new lighting technology and a wraparound front windscreen inspired by a glider plane glass canopy, enhancing frontal vision.”

Previously we’d been told that the PEAR would be an “agile urban EV”. Sounds – and looks – rather wild at the moment, doesn’t it?

Fisker says that the PEAR will start production in 2024, with the manufacturing taken care of by iPhone builder Foxconn at its recently-acquired Lordstown Motors factory in Ohio. When it arrives, it’ll have a base price of less than $29,900 before any EV incentives and the new platform it’s based on will also underpin two further Fiskers in the future. 

Big plans. What do we think, Internet?
