Thought this had already gone bust once but perhaps that’s my memory. What this definitely is is a puff piece:
Supercar legend Henrik Fisker has designs on a cheaper electric revolution
Aston Martin DB9 designer plans to do for electric cars what Apple did for the mobile phone market
Yadda, yadda,
All of this is to allow him to make cars at speed, and pack in the latest technology.
“If you buy an electric car today, that technology was most likely chosen three years ago. When you buy our car next year, we’ve chosen this year,” which, Fisker says, means better batteries and longer ranges.
I think that’s probably not true you know. If you’re going to build at volume then your supplier must be building at volume. Something which simply takes time to do. Look at the problems with chips this year. Buying things by the million requires ramp up and preparation.
Oh, and that tactic of building the SUV just so as to be able to getting to the really snazzy sports car – maybe not all that wondrous as a technological path…..
