Fisker Inc. last week revealed that it had delivered its first Ocean electric SUV to a customer\u2014nearly six months after contract manufacturer Magna started production<\/a> of the model in Austria.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first delivery, of an Ocean One launch edition, was attended personally by chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker, to a customer in Denmark, Fisker said. That handover took place at a Fisker facility in Copenhagen. Then on Monday Fisker confirmed the first German \u201cvehicle registration\u201d at the opening of its Munich facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fisker has said that the delay has been due to the vehicle homologation process, with full U.S. certification yet to come. Fisker developed the Ocean in an accelerated two-year timeframe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All Ocean One launch edition<\/a> versions and top Extreme-spec versions start at $68,999, accelerate to 60 mph in a claimed 3.6 seconds, offer an innovative rotating infotainment screen, and deliver a claimed 440 miles of WLTP range<\/a>, which Fisker says is the highest driving range of any battery-electric SUV ever offered in Europe.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s from a 113-kwh battery pack\u201440% more battery capacity than a Tesla Model Y Long Range\u2014so the Ocean does not yet stake out any high claims for EV efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fisker did make a potentially game-changing announcement for the segment with plans to use swappable batteries from U.S. startup Ample<\/a> in 2024. That partnership will target fleet use, at least initially, but it may give Fisker an entry into a market that most EV makers, except for China\u2019s Nio, haven\u2019t managed to see work at scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company has asked for $5,000 per vehicle to firm up pre-orders, and Henrik Fisker has noted that many customers did this without ever seeing an Ocean in person, let alone taking a test drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fisker has also discussed a Flexible Lease program for the Ocean\u2014of just $379 a month plus a $2,999 activation fee, with no penalty. Fisker hasn\u2019t clarified if it intends to tap into the U.S. Commercial Vehicle Credit to subsidize its EV leases<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
