Fisker, Telsa, two different companies, both recieving Fed dollars in pursuit of alternative transportation methods. Gore is associated with Fisker. Personally, I don't think it's makes any difference in getting or not getting funding for that company. They meet the guidelines for research and development, so they got approved.
Both companies are VERY high end price wise, $90K to over a $100K per car. Aint NO ONE saving ANY money at that price, just a show piece for the rich owners. But, ya gotta start some where, it's fundamental research. I'm not a big fan of electric cars and have serious doubts about their future. Then again, I'd rather see the money spent there than studying if hookers drink more beer or more wine. Or some other totally stupid research funded by the Feds!
