First Look: Quantum Fisker plug-in hybrid
Yes, those are solar panels on the roofIf the Fisker Quantum plug-in hybrid can hit the streets in the fourth quarter of 2009, as planned, it could be the first mass produced plug-in hybrid vehicle. However, when you look at the gorgeous exterior, topped with solar panels, and then the lush interior, it seems obvious that this is going to be a very expensive vehicle. Yet again, however, the Fisker Quantum hybrid keeps the momentum towards plug-in hybrid vehicles moving.

Noz-
There are rich people that will buy such vehicles. That's why the Tesla Roadster will cost $100,000. For a "startup" automaker you almost have to start on the high end, and if you nail the technology then you can work on more affordable models. Moreover, new technologies lack economies of scale, so they are always expensive at first.
Still, one of these "boutique" automakers might just develop the critical piece of technology that leads to mass-produced $20,000 plug-in hybrids. That's the point. In addition, such vehicles also keep pressure on large automakers, such as Bob Lutz of GM has admitted was the case with Tesla.
Many of the first computer makers, for example, offered retardly expensive computers at first. Overtime, however, the knowledge gained using these computers led to today's cheap computers.
