The funding was needed for Fisker to access a $528.7 million low-cost loan from the U.S. government granted to the company in September to help fund its expansion plans.

The Karma, a rechargeable luxury sports car scheduled to go on sale in September, is designed to travel 50 miles on a single charge. It will sell for $87,900 and be built in Finland by Valet Automotive.

Fisker is also developing a second, lower-cost vehicle under its “Project Nina,” a rechargeable sedan that it expects to build beginning in 2012 at a former GM factory in Delaware.

The Nina is expected to sell for $47,400 before a U.S. tax credit to consumers of $7,500.
