Last month, Michigan lost its preeminent alternative powertrain engineering lab when Tesla Motors closed up there in the face of fundraising woes. Now the state is getting another one. Fisker Automotive said today that it would open a design and engineering center in Pontiac, Mich. The Irvine-based company, which is working on a plug-in electric hybrid sedan called the Karma, said it would hire up to 200 engineers and designers for a 34,000-square-foot facility. http://latimesblogs.latimes.co m/uptospeed/2008/11/fisker-mic higan.html | ||

A definite plus, since the Tesla facility only employed a few dozen people IIRC. |
