Fisker's previous automobile, the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid, is not affiliated with the Fisker Ocean project, the tooling having been sold off and reconstituted by Karma Automotive as Henrik Fisker himself moved on to focus on his all-electric Ocean SUV project.Įxpectations are high that the Ocean will make a good first impression when customer deliveries begin. Official production began today for Henrik Fisker’s long-awaited Ocean all-electric five-passenger SUV, which had an uncertain gestation until a tie-in with assembly partner Magna International was announced in October 2020. Fisker says the top-level model will offer 350 miles of range according to EPA methodology, and can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds thanks to the 550 horsepower available from its dual-motor AWD powertrain.All first-edition Ocean One units are spoken for, as are 2023 examples of the affordable FWD Sport and AWD Ultra, but orders are still being taken for the top-level AWD Ocean Extreme, which goes for $68,999-plus a yet-to-be-announced destination charge.Initial 2023 Fisker Ocean production commenced today at their carbon-neutral plant in Graz, Austria, with most deliveries slated for next year as production gradually ramps from 300 in Q1 of 2023 to 8000 in Q2 to more than 42,000 expected by year's end.
