Fisker planned to start production of the plug-in hybrid luxury vehicle, the Karma, sometime this year, but didn’t have a set delivery time. That has changed now that they’ve set a schedule to begin production at the end of the year and start delivering the cars in May or June 2010.

Hoping to be competition for the Tesla, the Karma costs less than the Roadster and is making it to market ahead of the Model S. Almost all of the major automakers have new hybrid or all-electric models coming out within the year.
