In the last decade, automakers have been working to reduce their dependence on petroleum-powered vehicles. And while some companies like Tesla and Nissan have embraced electric cars, other major firms like Ford and Toyota are placing their bets on hybrid cars that can run on both gas and electricity. Tied with a joint venture investment in the firm, Hybrid Technologies, Fisker Automotive will introduce an all-electric car called the 2023 Fisker Pear in 2013. The car is expected to cost around $30,000 and be powered by lithium-ion batteries. By using battery power alone, the 2023 Fisker Pear has a range of 125 miles before recharging is even required. The 2023 Fisker Pear will be stocked with standard features including: A GPS system that automatically returns the vehicle to its charging station when the battery is about to run out Front and rear cameras for safety purposes A 3G connection so that you can use your cell phone and the internet while driving A new company called Fisker In
