I had a very good response till my browser deleted it. Short answer is it's in book why. It comes down to there not being any funding from the Big 5, entrepenuers, or the AVTM government loan. A very long list of startups have failed because they couldn't get any money. Edison2 still survives while others don't because it hasn't fallen into those pit traps.
The Xprize did what it intended to. It spurred the research and development of production capable high mpg cars. NONE of the numerous contestants who entered had the capitol or infrastructure to mass produce a car. None of them. There are many production capable designs now, just no one to mass produce them.
