Has anyone else ever thought about why Fisker wouldn't just pour more dollars into partnering or engineering itself a dedicated range extender that is more efficient than the loud, noisy and relatively complex Ecotec 4-cyl?
Looks like there are tons of companies out there, each with their own promising tech. One that I came across which looked cool is Bladon Jets (which showcased its tech on the Jag CX-75 concept). Check it out:

Some cool features:
- Weighs 95% LESS than conventional piston engine/range extender
- Uses NO OIL for lubrication etc.
- Much smaller footprint - about the size of a shoe box
- Fewer moving parts
- Very low emissions / high efficiency
