---

Overview

---

Fisker Inc. is an early stage sustainability focussed electric vehicle (EV) company based in California. The company was co-founded in 2016 by Henrik Fisker. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FSR) and is currently promoting its first electric vehicle, the all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV.

The company is unique, in that, its business model is based on outsourcing manufacturing. Fisker has secured an agreement with Magna Steyr, an international auto supplier that also manufactures vehicles. Fisker has also signed an agreement with Foxconn, to co-develop an electric vehicle.

Though Henrik Fisker is not as well known as Elon Musk, the co-founder of Tesla Inc., Henrik Fisker has also been an influential figure in the global automotive sector, with a strong track record as a car designer. His first EV company, Fisker Automotive (launched in 2007), had launched the Fisker Karma electric vehicle, one of the first production plug-in luxury hybrids. Despite having sold more than 2,500 EVs, Fisker Automotive suspended trading in 2012. The business was purchased by a Chinese company, however, Henrik retained the Fisker trademarks.

In July 2020, Fisker Inc. announced an IPO on the NYSE via a merger with Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp, backed by the private equity firm Apollo Global Management. In October 2020, the company completed its reverse merger. The company currently has a market capitalisation of over USD$ 5 billion.

The EV manufacturer claims that is first electric SUV, is the ‘world’s most sustainable vehicle’ and the ‘world’s greenest car’.

The All-Electric Fisker Ocean SUV

---

In March 2019, Fisker announced its intention to launch a pure electric SUV, which was later named the Fisker Ocean. The Fisker Ocean concept vehicle was launched at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The ‘production-intent’ version of the new Fisker electric SUV was launched in November 2021 at the Los Angeles Motor Show.

The Fisker Ocean (launch edition) can be reserved in the UK for US$ 250. Deliveries are expected in 2023. The company has so far received just under 20,000 global reservations for the Fisker Ocean. The EV will be available in four variants, to include the Fisker Ocean One (launch edition), Fisker Ocean Extreme, Fisker Ocean Ultra, Fisker Ocean Sport. However, not all variants will be available in the UK in 2023. The Fisker Ocean One will be limited to 5,000 units globally. The EV will be manufactured in Graz, Austria.

The pure electric Fisker Ocean has an estimated WLTP range between 270 miles to 390 miles. Except for the Sport variant, all other variants are all-wheel drive (AWD). The Sport is front-wheel drive (FWD). The Fisker EV has a full-length SolarSky roof as standard, which combines as a sunroof and also a solar energy generator to further enhance the zero-emission range of the electric vehicle. The SolarSky is expected to produce between 1,500 to 2,000 additional zero-emission miles per year.

‘Sustainability’, the core brand theme is encapsulated in the choice of materials used for the pure electric SUV. The EV is designed to be the most ‘sustainable SUV on earth’ including a vegan interior, recycled plastics bottles, repurposed rubber waste, worn-out t-shirts and abandoned fishing nets!

The EV is also equipped with Vehicle-To-Grid technology (V2G) with a bidirectional on-board charger, capable of powering your home in an emergency. The company claims its ‘PowerHouse’ capability can power a home for up to 7 days! Other interesting features include the touchscreen (17.1-inch) ability to revolve, automatic parking assist system, California Mode (streaming fresh air), Fisker HyperSound and Limo Mode.

The Fisker Ocean will be available as an outright purchase and also as a subscription option. The EV is positioned to compete against electric vehicles, like the all-electric Tesla Model Y.
