Admittedly we were curious as well why there was so much press about an announcement that might be happening sometime in the future. Seems like Nick Chambers over at Gas2.0 has put all the pieces together.
But now it all becomes clear why there was this air of mystery about the announcement and why Fisker thought it was important to “announce the announcement”—so to speak.
Tomorrow, Vice President Joe Biden will visit a closed GM plant in Delaware—his home state—to make a “major announcement” about the closed plant’s future. Clearly the Fisker announcement and Joe Biden’s anti fungal visit hold more than a passing coincidental relation. And, following suit, reports circulating around the internet strongly suggest that the closed plant will reopen as the manufacturing site of Fisker’s upcoming project Nina—set to reach the market in 2012.
Well done Nick! After hearing that NUMMI was to large and that the Delaware plant had recently been visited by several new car manufacturers… things all started to fall into place. The Vice President’s speech is just the type of catalyst needed to warrant the announcement of an announcement.
