Only one in seven succeeds. I’d say that with its VC support (Kleiner Perkins is not the only investor, New Enterprise Associates also invested), and the celebrity of its founder, Fisker has a better than average chance of success. I wish the company was more transparent, including when it comes to jobs. They have no job postings on their website, which makes it difficult to independently assess green job creation.

Fisker is a global company, not a centrally located american car company.
