    Fisker May Not Produce The Atlantic In Delaware

    The Fisker Atlantic, which debuted this week at the New York Auto Show, could built somewhere else besides their facility in Wilmington, Delaware.

    "The whole plan has changed," said Fisker CEO Tom LaSorda to Automotive News. "Wilmington is our primary site…but there are other options. We have to look at what's best for the company and the shareholders."

    LaSorda went onto say that a decision on where the Atlantic will be built will be made by the end of summer. This would cause another delay on the vehicle, which was set to begin production sometime within the second half of 2012.

    Asked if Wilmington was chosen, how fast could Fisker get the facility up and running, LaSorda said "really quickly."

    I suspect that people are not lining up to buy this over priced electric toy. In todays economy, more people are going for function over form and a limited use vehicle like this has lost it's shine. Not to mention, people are a bit shy about trusting an unproven company like Fisker.

    This whole we can build it any place is a dela tactic due to a lack of customers.

      Pretty interesting read, but wow: The rest of the charts are very eye opening. How far will $1 get you in a diesel car and an EV, and which cars are cheapest to drive?

      While home charging is 10 cents per kW, The work chargers are 29 cents per kW which is still not bad compared to other public chargers around Washington state. Tesla has had one affect here, initially they were very cheap compared to the first few public chargers, now that we have them all over from Rivian to EVgo, ChargePoint, etc. it is interesting to see that they are all within a penny or two of each other now, so the price has come down greatly.

      Seems it has been a bit since I looked at IONNA News channel, but wow, lots of tie ups with retailers. IONNA and Circle K Enter Partnership to Expand Access to EV Charging in the U.S. at IONNA Rechargeries @ Circle K - IONNA IONNA and Sheetz Combine Efforts in Opening American Roads to EV Charging - IONNA IONNA reaches milestone of more than 3,000 contracted bays with the addition of EV Rechargeries at Wawa - IONNA IONNA announces new partnership with Casey's - IONNA   Circle K, Sheetz, WAWA, Casey's, would not be surprised to see many more retailers connect with IONNA.

      It's not even a hard business case to make now. Even with gas stations, the money is in the selling of snacks, drinks, and prepared foods, not in the selling of gas.  For EVs, that calculus actually gets easier because EV drivers are MORE likely to stop in for food or coffee while charging.

      We are in interesting times and I think that those with the balls to look into the future past Idiot47 administration see change and growth as good for the EV industry.
