Heeft alles te maken met de vermeende rechten van het Phoenixplatform door Spyker/YM of NEVS. Ik denk dat NEVS een slag gewonnen heeft maar nog niet de oorlog ??

I do have two fundamental questions about their business plan, however:
1.
Why would NEVS consider developing and building their vehicles in Sweden in order to sell them in China? Given the difference in labor costs and the tariffs on vehicles brought into China, it makes no economic sense. Is that really their plan?
2.
Why would NEVS spend any money bringing out an electric car based on the Saab 9-3? Why not just develop the Phoenix platform they’ve bought rights to? First, you’re spending big money on a platform that will be outdated by your own product in the near-medium term. And second, everyone knows that your first product will soon be outdated, and unless they’re in a hurry to spend a bundle of money on inferior technology, they’ll wait for the better product that’s supposed to come shortly thereafter.
There are some big holes in what’s been publicly disclosed as their business plan.
Why spend that money on electrifying the 9-3 when you could spend it de-GMifying Phoenix and have a pristine, brand new product just a little bit later than your planned electric 9-3? And who’ll buy the 9-3 version if they know the Phoenix version will be coming, say…. 12 months later?
