Justin Bieber: Bieber’s 18th Birthday, A $100,000 electric car (actually, plug-in hybrid) with super style, the Fisker Karma — it’s not the worst present you could receive on your 18th present, and I’m sure (somewhat) greenie Justin Bieber isn’t complaining, after receiving it from his campaign manager for his 18th birthday.

Justin Bieber’s new electric car, as presented on Ellen. Scott Braun, Bieber’s manager, actually presented Bieber with the car on Ellen (the Ellen Degeneres Show) today.

“We wanted to make sure, since you love cars, that when you’re on the road you are always looking environmentally friendly,” Braun said as DeGeneres smiled large. “And we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out. I think you know where I’m going, and you’re kind of freaking out right now. That’s a Fisker Karma.”

Bieber looked pretty surprised and enthused. Watch the video below:

The Fisker Karma is, of course, a fancy electric car. It’s also, just released in December, reportedly the first luxury electric car with extended range. You may have also noticed that the car includes a solar panel in the roof. But the Fisker Karma isn’t actually the greenest car in the world. The car only gets 30-50 miles on electricity alone.

Chris DeMorro of sister site Gas2 thinks a lot more support should be going to the even more popular, better-performing, and greener electric vehicles made by competitor Tesla than to Fisker, which is facing a bit of trouble with Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantees:
