All I can say is I saw a Fisker electric car in person and although it looks nice, I wouldn't buy it. It had uneven seams, loose rubber seals around the roof and glass and a few other issues that left me unimpressed.
I would rather our gov't had given the money to a more established company to build a luxury electric car.

I was checking one out the other day and the overall design is nice. However, fit and finish is a different thing. The engine bay looks like a high school shop project. The strut mount plates were a joke.

So GM is giving you a suitcase of dollars if you buy a Volt-mobile . About 49K dollars as their contribution (losses) on each VOLT car sold. Sound good business to me. Definitely Government Motors!!!

In 2010, the Department of Energy awarded Fisker a $529 million green-energy loan, in part to help purchase a shuttered General Motors plant in Delaware, where it predicted it would one day employ 2,000 auto workers to assemble a clean-burning gas-electric family car, known as the Atlantic.
Fisker collected nearly $200 million until February this year, when the government froze the loan because the company was failing to meet the government's milestones. Most of those federal funds went into bringing the Karma, which Fisker assembles in Finland, to the U.S. market.
