Fisker has had a bumpy few months, to say the least. After the corporate mentioned it might must companion with one other automaker earlier than it went bankrupt, talks with Nissan fell aside. Then Fisker rapidly slashed costs on stock for a model of the Ocean SUV which will or might not even exist. However there’s nonetheless a small glimmer of hope.
In response to Enterprise Insider, CEO Henrik Fisker held an all-hands assembly final week and informed staff that a minimum of 4 automakers are nonetheless all for a possible stake within the firm. “We do have 4 automobile corporations which have signed NDAs,” Fisker informed his staff final week. “Nonetheless, they clearly want time to get to some diligence.”
Fisker didn’t present a timetable or any specifics on which corporations may be . Nissan virtually definitely gained’t be one in all them after talks fell aside following a rumored $400-million deal that might kickstart manufacturing of the Alaska pickup and a separate electrical pickup for Nissan.
If Fisker doesn’t strike a take care of any of those 4 automakers throughout the subsequent 30 days, chapter may very well be inevitable. The corporate reportedly has simply $54 million in money equivalencies and says that may “not be ample to fulfill its present obligations.” This comes months after the corporate delivered a whole bunch of automobiles whereas failing to gather tens of millions of {dollars} price of fee.
We’ll see within the subsequent few weeks if Fisker is ready to strike a deal and keep afloat, or if chapter is true across the nook.
