“It’s an emotional day as we start production of the world’s
most sustainable vehicle in record time – on time – in the
carbon-neutral factory in Graz,” Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik
Fisker said. “We’ve challenged the old model of longer development
timelines, reflecting our team’s agility and dedication to creating
emotionally desirable vehicles with the newest, most unique
experiences in our price range. We have the highest quality at
launch, aligned with our commitment to leading the industry in
sustainability. More than 63,000 customers worldwide share our
enthusiasm. It’s a day for our team and fans to celebrate!”
The start of production is reinforced by growing momentum
globally – with two trims sold out in the United States market for
2023. In addition to the green manufacturing, the Fisker Ocean’s
more than 50 kilos of recycled, biodegradable and overall
eco-conscious materials reflect its commitment to sustainability.
Fisker’s production ramp in Austria will see over 300 units
manufactured in Q1 of 2023, with a rapid increase to over 8,000
units in Q2. More than 15,000 units will follow in Q3, and in Q4
the company will finish the year with enough units to total
42,400.
The top trim Fisker Ocean Extreme travels 350 miles1 on a single
charge, with dual-motor, all-wheel-drive, three driving modes, a
17.1" rotating screen featuring gaming in HMI, SolarSky roof,
California Mode, and many first-to-market safety features,
including the world's first digital radar, all for $68,9992.
The limited edition Fisker Ocean ONE builds on the Extreme trim,
offering specific signature cues available only on the first 5,000
vehicles. In July 2022, the Fisker Ocean ONE sold out in 30 days,
each secured by a $5,0003 deposit representing $350 million in
potential revenue for Fisker once all the vehicles are
delivered.
