The US-made EV will ride on the SLV1 platform, an abbreviation for simple, versatile, and volume. It's a "steel plus plus" platform and uses 35 percent fewer parts. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive EV will get a range of around 300 miles.
We can see several design highlights of the PEAR, including ultra-slim headlamps, an illuminated PEAR logo, radar sensors, and a faux grille upfront reminiscent of the Ocean. The version displayed also had cameras in place of wing mirrors.
Cool design elements at the rear include a wraparound LED taillamp and what the brand calls the "Houdini trunk." Its opening mechanism is unlike anything we've seen previously – it rolls down and disappears into the rear bumper, which Fisker says could be immensely useful in getting items in and out easily when cars are parked closely on tight city streets.
That said, Fisker will offer the PEAR in five- and six-seat configurations, with the latter getting a bench seat upfront to sit three abreast. The brand plans to sell one million units of the Pear annually but stopped short of mentioning the timeline for that target.
CEO Henrik Fisker stated that the compact EV will start at $29,000 and be eligible for federal incentives, which would drop the price to $22,400 dollars. But don't expect it to appear on American roads anytime soon. Fisker said the launch timeline is mid-2025.
