On Thursday before red eyeing to Tampa for the RNC, I moderated a panel at the Charged 2012 EV Symposium in Silicon Valley.  They had all of the modern all-electrics on display and I took a walk around the Fisker Karma.  Two things stood out for me.  First, the car is beautiful and they paid attention to detail like I’ve rarely seen in a car.  The other thing, which was a big surprise, is how BIG this car is.  It never really sinks in that it has four doors until you’re up close, but it is a full size car to be sure.
