EV start-up Fisker (FSRN -12.70%) may need to file for bankruptcy before ever reaching scale, and that's a warning to other EV manufacturers. It's expensive to build out manufacturing, and only one company has reached profitability -- that's Tesla (TSLA -1.11%). It's not clear that Rivian (RIVN 6.10%), Lucid (LCID 0.41%), or any other company will reach scale and profitability in EVs on its own, which Travis Hoium covers in this video.
