The entirety of the public relations team at Fisker (http://www.autoblog.com/fisker/) is about to be laid off. That's according to an email Autoblog received this morning from a credible source, stating that the entire PR team, along with a large number of other Fisker employees will be furloughed at 8am PST today.
The luxury plug-in-hybrid car startup launched with a splash with the sexy Karma (http://www.autoblog.com/fisker/karma/) sedan just a few years ago, but since then it has struggled to collect government financing, it has been battered by natural disasters, supplier issues and the recent departure of its namesake, designer and founder Henrik Fisker (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/henrik+fisker/). The company has been in talks with possible investors, but thus far that has amounted to nothing, and officials are said to be in discussions with bankruptcy experts.
