CNN —Electric vehicle company Fisker’s stock plunged more than 40% in after-hours trading on Wednesday as investor concern about the company’s ability to stay in business intensified.

Fisker’s stock was trading at 32 cents a share at the close of trading Wednesday, a more than 80% decline since the start of 2024. Fisker is founder Henrik Fisker’s second car company.

New York CNN —Fisker, the electric vehicle company founded by auto designer Henrik Fisker, announced in its fourth quarter earnings Thursday that it might not have enough money to survive another year. The company is in discussions with an existing investor about possibly putting more money into the company, the EV maker said in its announcement. Last year, Magna produced more than 10,193 Fisker SUVs, but fewer than half of those were delivered to customers within the calendar year, the company announced. Fisker is founder Henrik Fisker’s second car company. His first, Fisker Automotive, produced a plug-in hybrid luxury car called the Fisker Karma.

REUTERS/Stephane Mahe/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsDec 1 (Reuters) - Electric-vehicle maker Fisker (FSR.N) said on Friday it will scale down production this month, and produce lesser cars this year than its previous guidance, to prioritize cash for working capital needs. Shares of the EV maker, which has been struggling with a cash crunch, rose 7% in premarket. "Fisker has made a strategic decision to reduce December production to prioritize liquidity to unlock over $300 million of working capital," the company said. Fisker cut its production target for the year to just over 10,000 units, compared with its earlier forecast of 13,000 to 17,000.

The logo of Fisker Automotive is pictured on a car at the 2022 Paris Auto Show in Paris, France, October 18, 2022. But Fisker was limited by its delivery and service infrastructure rather than production and demand. "We have not been able to follow through with deliveries fast enough," CEO Henrik Fisker said on the call. "In the course of completing the preparation of the report, the company determined that it has material weaknesses in the company's internal control over financial reporting," Fisker said. The EV company reported a loss of $91 million, missing analysts' estimates for a loss of $75 million, according to Visible Alpha.

Fisker to add Tesla's EV charging connector by 2025

REUTERS/Stephane MaheAug 15 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle startup Fisker (FSR.N) said on Tuesday it signed a deal with Tesla (TSLA.O) to adopt its North American Charging Standard (NACS), giving Fisker customers access to the automaker's Supercharger network by 2025. A plethora of automakers, including Ford Motor (F.N) and General Motors (GM.N), are moving away from the standard Combined Charging System (CCS) connector to Tesla's previously proprietary charging design, which is set to dominate the industry. Fisker said its vehicles made 2025 onwards will have the NACS port for charging, while other customers can use an adapter to access Tesla's 12,000-strong network of public fast chargers in the U.S. and Canada. Tesla's recent deals represent major strides in displacing a rival standard, CCS, that earlier exclusively had the backing of President Joe Biden's administration.
