These are beautiful. I saw a Fisker Karma EVer in the wild today. These companies are doing such impressive design work on EVs. Why is there such a big gap between these works of art and the Volt? Surely there's a market for a 40-50k electric vehicle with good lines.

  Huh? Jalopnik says that the Model X will start at $60k: http://jalopnik.com/5884111/tesla-model-x-price-tops-out-at-100000 http://jalopnik.com/5884111/tesla-model-x-price-tops-out-at-...

      We're talking about Model X, but that's the model S pricing you're linking to.

  The "Blue Star" is the $30k version, in the future. The Model X is an incremental modification of the Model S into a crossover SUV, available in 2014. I'd love a "Blue Star Performance" for $50k -- I don't need a car as big as the Model S/X, but want 300 mile range, supercharger, and 4-5 sec 0-60. I'd be ok with a roadster except I hate convertibles and would like something a little bigger, like BMW 3er size.

Although Karmas are known to catch fire on many occasions, including while submerged in water (http://www.wired.com/autopia/2012/10/fisker-fire-new-jersey/ http://www.wired.com/autopia/2012/10/fisker-fire-new-jersey/).
