These guys are only a few blocks away from our CA house . . . I oughta go by some day & see if I can get a test drive. The picture would gaul Darell no end kinda like when I saw his test drive vid zoomin' around in that Imiev.
A google search on "Fisker electric car" turned up This Link. They're talking about a parallel hybrid gas-electric car. They're claiming a range of 50 miles on electric, and then say that if your commute is less them 50 miles you'll average 100 mpg. This sounds like the HyMotion Prius: You use about half grid power and half gas power. That's a far cry from an EV. And at $88K you could buy two Priuses and have Hymotion modify them. I'll stick with my 100% electric Xebra.
