Fisker is adding Canada to the list of nations in which its Karma electric vehicle is available.

For its initial entrée into the Canadian market, the OEM has partnered with established car dealers in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

In Toronto and Calgary, Fisker is aligned with the Dilawri Group, Canada’s largest auto retailing network. In addition to forming Fisker of Calgary, Dilawri will be establishing Fisker of Toronto at the Shops at Don Mills, Toronto’s first open-air mall.

Fisker’s partner in Vancouver is the Fields Automotive Group, a family owned firm established in 1971. Fisker of Vancouver adds to Fields’ array of 29 other North American locations.

“Both Dilawri and Fields have the premium brand experience we want – and that the customers expect – in launching a new luxury brand specializing in uncompromised responsible luxury,” says Matt Malfitano, the automaker’s North American operations director.

Fisker will further expand its presence in Canada as it ramps up Karma production and develops more models, according to Malfitano.

The Canadian government envisions 500,000 plug-in vehicles on the road by 2018. To help this goal along, the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec all offer purchase incentives that range in value from $5,000 to $8,500. Ontario additionally offers unrestricted high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane access to plug-in cars, and Quebec will reimburse half the cost of charging stations for plug-in vehicle owners.
