The game for EV startups is now a grim one: Can the companies reach profitability before running out of cash?
Electric vehicle startups are approaching a make-or-break moment. As legacy automakers increasingly ramp production of all-electric vehicles, cushioned by the profits of gas-powered models, a handful of EV startups are scrambling to conserve cash and stay in the mix. The last few years saw a wave of EV startups hit the public markets, all hoping to catch some of the lightning that had made Tesla 's stock surge. Many did see soaring share prices – for a while.
Fisker expects a positive gross margin of between 8% and 12% this year, thanks to its contract-manufacturing model. While it's likely to need more cash at some point, that shouldn't be hard to raise – assuming both production and sales of the Ocean go smoothly over the next several months. Or as Evercore ISI analyst Doug Dutton wrote before Fisker's earnings report, "Fisker is beginning to turn into a story of binary and 'show me' outcomes.

Stop Asking “Why” and Start Asking “How”Many of the verbal instincts and reflexes that we pick up as children (copied from our parents and teachers, who in turn copied them from their parents and teachers) actually undermine our effectiveness when we grow up and apply those same instincts as managers. Asking “Why?” or “Why not?” is one such reflex and can lead us into having conversations which are entirely “back-to-front” – those that take us in the opposite direction to the one in which we wish to go. The logic we have picked up from parents and teachers is that to deal with a problem we must first understand the reasons behind it, and only then can we find the appropriate counterarguments. But there is a quicker, more effective way of addressing the issue. That is, by asking “How.” Asking “How” changes the nature of the conversation as it is forward looking and allows you to identify solutions that will serve the future, not dig up shortcomings from the past.
