Starting with buyers of the class-leading, limited edition
all-electric, five-passenger Fisker Ocean One, the Fisker Finance℠
direct-to-consumer digital platform will enable customers to apply
for vehicle financing, receiving competitive, personalized
decisions, plus the ability to finance vehicle accessories such as
home charging equipment and factory-installed accessories.
Production of the Fisker Ocean is on track starting November 2022
at a carbon-neutral factory in Austria.
“Fisker is a digital car company, first and foremost, focused on
a seamless customer experience at every step. Providing finance
options on our digital platform, including financing
factory-installed options, is part of providing our customers with
a completely hassle-free experience respectful of their time,” says
Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker. “We also aim to provide
insurance on our digital platform as we designed and engineered the
Fisker Ocean with affordable premiums in mind. The Fisker Ocean One
will stand out with all its unique standard options and
features.”
Customers will be able to navigate the digital loan process at
their own pace. Starting with the credit application on
fiskerinc.com or Fisker’s app, applicants can select a retail
financing structure that best fits their needs. Customers will be
able to review their financing details and electronically sign
documents online. Following vehicle delivery, Fisker owners can
digitally access their account, make payments and obtain
personalized customer support.
On July 1, Fisker began offering early reservation holders in
select markets the opportunity to secure a Fisker Ocean One by
committing to a $5,000 USD deposit.3
This pre-order deposit allows Fisker to plan its manufacturing
build more accurately, as customers provide information regarding
their desired specifications, including exterior and interior
colors and accessories. As Fisker schedules production of each
vehicle, Fisker Ocean One buyers will finalize pre-order
specifications, and the company will assign a specific number
ranging from #1 to #5000 to each limited-edition vehicle.
The response to the Fisker Ocean One pre-ordering is extremely
positive, and the company is progressing well towards selling out
of this exclusive launch edition. Reservation holders opting out of
the Fisker Ocean One remain in line for future versions of the
emissions-free Fisker Ocean SUV.
Fisker Finance℠ plans to begin offering financing in the fourth
quarter of 2022. Fisker expects to nominate financing partners in
additional regions, with more announcements to come.
