This could be a nice acquisition by Jeep/Chrysler since they're lagging behind in EV development due to lack of funds.
It would also help get the taste of the compass & patriot horseshit they've been peddling lately.
That's some beautiful vaporware, I hope they make it.
- leoedin 9y agoIf they're lagging in the EV department due to lack of funds, purchasing a startup like this won't change that. Bollinger probably designed almost none of the core "EV" stuff - motor drivers, motors, charging circuitry etc. They couldn't afford to. They've almost certainly bought it off the shelf from one of the many automotive OEMs. Chrysler could do the same.
