I'm sorry, recalled (obviously incorrectly) that the funding was guaranteed by the govt disbursed by the public sector. I stand correctedWhy do you think that? The ATVM loan, as far as I know is, indeed, directly from DoE to "eligible individuals and entities" and carried out by the Federal Financing Bank. This is spelled out in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 in Section 136, I believe it is listed somewhere on DoE's website otherwise all over the web.
I think EM spelled it out in their SEC filing. I think EM basically meets all the criteria, except in a couple of extremely key areas currently that they are scrambling to meet. They need to show means of repayment of a loan and solvency throughout the duration of loan. They need to conduct tests that verify what their simulations show.Thanks for the links.

Thanks for making those requirements more explicit. The "at the time of loan application" requirement may be challenging since EM's resources were substantially different from just a year ago and almost certainly much different from when they applied.I think EM spelled it out in their SEC filing.

These things looks clear to me in the Federal Register circular, here's the applicable snipit (the whole thing is much longer). https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2013-title10-vol4/pdf/CFR-2013-title10-vol4-part611-subpartB.pdf

Yes, my 2 indicators pending loan approval are verification of the Elio's performance claims (min 75 mpg) and financial viability. 75 mpg easy...........financial viabilty more complicated.

When the DoE determines EM meets all the ATVM requirements the loan will no doubt be approved. In my mind it would be better approved pre-production, but even post production approval would be a positive in allowing EM to rapidly scale production numbers.
I was contacted this last week. Tues I thinkHas anyone here been contacted by VStock Tranfer LLC and had their Elio Motors stock transferred over to them? I have not, but am curious when people start to get contacted.
