regretfully one part of me is glad China did this. At least it keeps an electric car company alive . What killed the Fisker in the US was its high price which doomed it except from those 1%. With a starting price over 50,000 , I don't believe there was the market in the US. Perhaps the market will be greater in the Orient and they are struggling with all that pollution.

And there was even a Fisker with solar panels on its roof to recharge their batteries. The Chinese will run with this - for them its a win/win thing in that they may not have to face the bullshit oil lobby killing the electric car development as it did in this country. Good luck to them.
