Automotive might have one of the best circular economies around. 1. Buy new 2. Sell as certified used 3. Sell to B lots 4. Repair repair repair 5. Scrap for metal/ recycle parts/ tires everything #automotive has a simple formula that works for any industry when it comes to circularity. Any guess how long the average car is in circulation? (Answer in Comments ⬇️) We were on step 4 shopping the B lot (aka thrifting)!! Give me another industry this works for? #sustainability #Circularity #Recycle #business #startup #preseed #dogsoflinkedin

Fisker is the latest electric-vehicle startup to run low on financial charge. Having put out a “going concern” warning last month, it said this week that it had secured $150 million of additional funds, but terms were punitive. Negotiations with a “large automaker” over an investment also continue. However this story ends, it will probably spell the failure of Los Angeles-based Fisker’s experiment in building an “asset-light” car business. The company’s pitch to investors centered on the theory that outsourcing production to third parties would save it billions of dollars in capital investment, smoothing the path to profitability. Since Nike pioneered the model with shoes, the products involved have become more complex, culminating in the meteoric rise of Apple with its designed-in-California, made-in-China devices. Why not vehicles? The difference might be that profitability in the car industry is hugely dependent on factories operating near full tilt, rather than design as at Nike or an operating system as at Apple. When production is so central to business success or failure, it can’t be outsourced on terms that another company would rationally accept. “You need your plants humming and it’s hard to do that in an arm’s length environment,” says Mark Wakefield, automotive managing director at advisory firm AlixPartners. Third-party vehicle manufacturers do exist, but they have typically been used for additional production capacity or making low-volume specialty products at a relatively high variable cost, not mass outsourcing. Fisker’s debut Ocean sport-utility vehicle is being made by Canada’s Magna International in Austria and shipped to the U.S. No wonder the startup is running out of money. The most basic lesson here is not to underestimate the time it takes to get EV projects off the ground, whoever owns the factories. With no revenues, time is money for startups. Wakefield roughly estimates the total cost of getting to the point where cash flows in the door rather than out at $10 billion. If outsourcing production isn’t the answer to the car industry’s capital-intensity problem, what might be? One answer coming from China is speed. Chinese EV startups can launch a vehicle in as little as two years, 30% faster than Western peers on average. This helps lower the bill simply by reducing the number of years that a project drains cash rather than generating it. Rivian burned through $5.9 billion of cash last year. The highest number in the Chinese peer group was $1.5 billion for NIO. The difference also can be explained by lower labor costs, more government support and less stringent quality regulations. Still, the speed of Chinese innovation brings a cost advantage Western EV startups and incumbent manufacturers alike can learn from. Ultimately, carmakers need to lighten the industry’s notorious capital requirements by cutting costs.
