Fisker 執粒

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/15/fisker-s-farewell/
The departure of Henrik Fisker from his self-named car company adds yet another name to the list of dreamers who thought they could be successful automakers.

Struggling to save Fisker Automotive from the of talons of bankruptcy, Henrik Fisker has teamed up with Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li to offer to purchase the company's outstanding U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) advanced vehicles loan for just a fraction of its $171 million balance (the company was originally loaned $192 million, but $21 million was seized last month by the Energy Department).

According to Reuters, there are at least two different investor groups interested in the company, but the DOE loan must be addressed before the automaker can be revived. (Satisfying the federal loan helps make Fisker Automotive more attractive to potential buyers, but it still leaves outstanding debt to suppliers.) The DOE would sell the loan to cut its losses – against slim odds of the loan being repaid – even though it would be recovering only pennies on the dollar.

While the Fisker/Li group has reportedly offered to buy the loan for between $25 - $30 million, another group led by Chinese automaker Wanxiang Group and Bob Lutz have teamed up to offer to buy Fisker for $20 million in a prearranged bankruptcy. That second investor group is likely working a different angle: remember, it was Lutz who unveiled his Corvette ZR1-powered VL Automotive Destino at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

又執多一間!

以色列電動車公司「良居」(Better Place)向法院申請破產清盤,宣告以色列發展電動車的夢想破滅。

「良居」於2007年成立,受到以色列政府的大力支持,使用法國雷諾汽車主體開發電動車。包括通用汽車、匯豐銀行及摩根士丹利都曾參與投資,至今已經投注了數億美元的研發經費。

為了節省用戶購車成本和充電時間,他們也設計出可置換的電池,並在各地設置電池更換站。這款電動車去年正式開始銷售,可惜銷售成績不理想,普及率不高。

以色列幅員不大,有充足的陽光可以發電,又不產石油,可說是相當適合發展電動車的地方。但隨着「良居」的破產,以色列發展電動車的夢想也破滅了。
