Consumer Reports last year found that electric vehicles have almost 80% more problems and are "generally less reliable" than conventional internal combustion engine cars.

Once China gets its EV plants up and running in Mexico, you can say goodbye to most, if not all of America’s EV manufacturers. Couple this fact with Manchurian Joe’s EV mandate and we see the destruction of yet another US industry and the further subjugation of the American people.

OK... I have to laugh at the idea that Fisker of all people would name one of their models the “Ocean”. I still remember what killed them off the first time they declared bankruptcy. It was the ocean. Specifically, it was hurricane Sandy’s storm surge washing water into a shore-side parking lot full of Fisker Karma’s. When the storm was over all that was left were a bunch of burnt-out, half-melted shells. Apparently sea water and EV batteries don’t mix...

Geez, who wants one of these things.

In the west, we drive long distances to get anywhere - it is NOT convenient for us to either stop for a long period of time while the car charges, or worse (as family with EVs say) pull up and all of the charges are “out of commission?”

If people don’t want EVs, stop voting for Dem politicians (like Gavin Newsom) who are pushing them.

Anyone who thinks that there is market space for 5 or 6 EV startups, Old Line Detroit automakers, Japanese and European automakers and an aggressive Chinese faction that sees EVs as a wedge to get them into the American market with Chinese made sub assemblies and parts assembled in huge state of the art factories they are building in Mexico is smoking dope. There is going to a huge shakeout and a lot of red ink and bloodletting in the industry.

Who is going to do the bleeding and what companies are going to left standing at the end really depends upon if Trump gets elected in November . If Biden wins, US automakers are toast. Don't expect any relief from Washington if Trump loses because Washington is bought and paid for by the Chinese CCP.

Is this the same Fisker that sells good-quality scissors and garden tools?

Fisker should have stuck with making garden tools.

It's beginning to look like they would have difficulty "Giving EVs Away!"

People are no more interested in an ELECTRIC vehicle then they were owning, back in the day, a 6 pound cellphone that was as BIG as a military Walkie Talkie!

I don’t want to stop to charge up and become a victim of white haters.

For electrical vehicles to become accepted, like gas cars, they need to adapt a one size fits all power module. A module that you can pay for and swap out in the same time or less it takes to gas up now.

And let me take this opportunity to thank all aspects of the oil industry... you’re the most efficient business EVER. We owe you a debt of gratitude.
