DETROIT (AP) — Electric car maker Fisker Automotive is talking with other car companies about sharing parts and technology.

The company, based in Anaheim, Calif., is also preparing for a public offering of stock that would help it raise money for new vehicles, Fisker’s new CEO Tony Posawatz said Monday during a speech to the Automotive Press Association. Posawatz didn’t say when an offering might happen, but he said the company is watching the stock performance of electric carmaker Tesla Motors, which had an IPO in 2010.
