"Smith sad [sic] the battery compartment is made up of 40 lithium cells that 
are each powered at 3.7 volts giving the car 'some serious battery power.'"

I think it's great that these kids are working on an EV.  But "serious 
battery power"?  Welll  hmm.

Most of the LiPoly cells I've seen are rated for a maximum discharge of 3-
4C.  Maybe someone else can tell for sure what the cell AH capacity is from 
the pic.  I can't.  But if we assume they're 100ah, that's a peak power of 
around 59kW into the controller.

Maybe Smith thinks that's "serious power," but sorry, I don't.

After reading a little about Dan Schwartz and his budget ideas, I'm not 
overly impressed with him, but I don't entirely blame him here.  There IS 
something kind of dodgy about Faraday.  

Schwartz also right to be cautious.  Any state official should be, because 
the last 2 or 3 decades are full of similar EV efforts that chowed down tax 
dollars, paid their executives handsomely, and then walked away, leaving the 
city/county/state with no jobs and no tax revenue, just a derelict plant and 
a parking lot with grass growing in the cracks.

PS - I guess it's all a matter of taste, and maybe others think it's hot 
stuff, but IMO Faraday's bizarre-looking prototype strikes me as a parody of 
itself.  It reminds me of the cars I used to doodle in my junior high school 
notebook margins -- and let me tell you, I was not and am not an artist.

'Nevada treasurer raises questions about Faraday Future'

Chinese tycoon’s electric-car plant hits speed bump in Vegas

Faraday, owned by a Chinese billionaire, wants to build a Nevada auto plant
but needs state support for new roads, water and power lines
]

Chinese tech entrepreneur Jia Yueting, whose Faraday Future wants to build a
$1 billion auto plant in North Las Vegas, has failed to win the confidence
of one key man: Dan Schwartz, Nevada’s treasurer, who must sign off on
government support for infrastructure.

Jia Yueting has all the trappings of a successful Chinese tech entrepreneur
with global ambitions.

The self-made billionaire got his start as the IT guy at his local tax
bureau. Now Jia’s flagship internet-video company sports a $15 billion
market capitalization and a buy rating from Goldman Sachs Group.

Donning hoodies and T-shirts, he boasts of plans to take on Apple in
smartphones and surpass Tesla Motors in electric cars. Jia’s Faraday Future
has lured staff from Ferrari and BMW, and won the backing of Nevada’s
governor to construct a $1 billion auto plant in North Las Vegas — about 400
miles from where Tesla broke ground on a giant battery factory in 2014.

Yet for all Jia’s accomplishments, the 43-year-old tycoon has failed to win
the confidence of one key man. Dan Schwartz, Nevada’s treasurer, says he’s
skeptical Jia can secure financing for the car plant, a project that needs
government support for power lines, water mains and roads.

Schwartz, the former CEO of a private-equity research firm in Hong Kong,
wants more transparency on the funding before signing off on state bonds for
$120 million of infrastructure improvements.

The crux of Schwartz’s concern is Jia’s reliance on equity-backed loans, a
financing strategy that could leave Nevada taxpayers vulnerable to the whims
of China’s volatile stock market. Jia has pledged 87 percent of his holdings
in Leshi Internet Information & Technology — his flagship firm — for cash he
then plowed back into his companies, regulatory filings show.

The stock, whose trading was halted in Shenzhen for the first five months of
2016, has dropped 11 percent since it resumed trading June 3, a move that
heightens Schwartz’s fear that a margin call could prevent Jia from funding
the plant.

“You can see where this leads,” Schwartz said. “His Internet company is
successful, but that doesn’t generate the billions of dollars he’d need.
Where’s he going to get the money?’’

The financing questions surrounding Jia’s foray into the U.S. electric-car
market are becoming more common around the world as China Inc. embarks on an
unprecedented overseas shopping spree. Chinese firms, which boosted outbound
direct investment by 62 percent in January-May from a year earlier, are
branching out even as rising debt levels and weak profits at home cast doubt
over their ability to secure stable funding.

Faraday, whose 1,000-horsepower concept car has drawn comparisons to the
Batmobile, says it has the full support of Nevada’s governor and is pushing
forward with the city of North Las Vegas on infrastructure planning.

The 800-employee carmaker — a separate company from Leshi that’s
majority-owned by Jia — has sought to address Schwartz’s concerns but could
“technically” build the plant without the state bonds, Faraday spokeswoman
Stacy Morris said in an emailed reply to questions.

Jia has invested more than $300 million of his own money into Faraday, and
the firm will announce a round of outside funding within weeks, said Winston
Cheng, a former Bank of America investment banker who now runs corporate
finance for Jia’s companies. He said the size of the funding would be
“meaningful” and come from Asian investors, while declining to provide more
details.

“I don’t understand why he’s trying to kill these high-end jobs in the state
of California and Nevada,” Cheng said, referring to Schwartz. “It baffles
me.”

City, county and regional government agencies are already working with
Faraday on infrastructure for the plant, and the Nevada Governor’s Office of
Economic Development has approved funding for worker training.

Leshi, the publicly traded centerpiece of Jia’s empire, shows few signs of
financial distress. Profits increased 20 percent in the first quarter, while
its quick ratio, a gauge of the firm’s ability to meet obligations over the
coming year, is in line with the median for Chinese companies as a whole,
according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Analysts also are bullish on the stock. Nine of 11 forecasters tracked by
Bloomberg give it the equivalent of a buy rating.

Investors are less sanguine, though, with
