All-electric Fisker Ocean unveiled

  • Before federal and state tax credits, the base Fisker Ocean Sport trim level costs $37,499. 
  • The Fisker Ocean Ultra is $49,999
  • The Fisker Ocean Extreme is $68,999. 
  • The first 5,000 vehicles produced will be Fisker Ocean One, also priced at $68,999.
  • Exciting electric mobility and beautiful Fisker design are available for all.

On the eve of the Los Angeles Auto Show (LAAS) the all-electric Fisker Ocean was unveiled. Yes, by the California Ocean. The Fisker Ocean Sport is a segment-leading estimated range and performance from two battery cell chemistries. Fisker estimates that the EPA range of the front-wheel-drive, single-motor will be 250 miles on a single charge. The Ocean Sport Uses a lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery cell chemistry in Touring Range packs to be supplied by CATL. 

EPA Ranges for the all-wheel-drive, dual-motor Fisker Ocean Ultra, and Fisker Ocean Extreme are estimated at 340 miles and 350-plus miles, respectively.

The Ultra and Extreme SUV will use CATL-supplied Hyper Range battery packs. The pack contains a nickel manganese cobalt cell chemistry. CATL and Fisker collaborate to create segment-leading, high-energy packs that CATL will produce for the Fisker Ocean.

Fisker chose to contract for two different cell options. The Fisker Ocean Sport SUV customers receive a value and segment-leading range. The Fisker Ocean Ultra and Fisker Ocean Extreme customers receive a combination of segment-leading range and performance. Both options will utilize silicon-carbide inverters, making this advanced technology standard on the Fisker Ocean Sport, Fisker Ocean Ultra, FiskerOcean Extreme, and FiskerOcean One.

A Fisker SolarSky roof on the Fisker Ocean Extreme and Fisker Ocean One trims could supply an additional 2,0002 miles of range per year, under ideal conditions, and 1,500 under typical sunny skies in regions such as California.

Henrik Fisker noted the exceptional performance of all four Fisker Ocean trims. The Fisker Ocean Sport will have an expected 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds with a peak horsepower of 275. The Fisker Ocean Ultra will have an estimated 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds, with an estimated peak horsepower of 540 hp. The Fisker Ocean Extreme and Fisker Ocean One will have an estimated 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, with an estimated peak horsepower of 550 hp.

The Fisker Ocean Sport will have Earth and Fun drive modes, while the Fisker Ocean Ultra and Fisker Ocean Extreme will add Hyper mode. The Fisker Ocean Extreme and the Fisker Ocean One will also have an Off-Road mode. The Fisker Ocean Ultra, Fisker Ocean Extreme, and Fisker Ocean One trims will have a Smart Traction torque-vectoring system to enhance performance and safety.

Sustainable design, technological innovation, and California Mode

The Fisker Ocean was designed to be a proper SUV, Henrik Fisker said, rather than yet another aerodynamic all-electric hatchback. Fisker and his team developed an emotionally refreshing, sleek, and stylish exterior with ultra-slim lighting that gives the Fisker Ocean a wide stance that enhances handling and emphasizes its road presence.

A Bridgestone 20-inch aero wheel is available, as well as three Bridgestone 22-inch wheel options. The Fisker Ocean can lower all its windows and retract its sliding roof to morph into California Mode at the push of a button. All of this technology is available on the Ultra, Extreme, and Ocean One, providing an open-air,convertible­ like experience while maintaining the reassurance of an SUV platform.

The five-passenger Fisker Ocean has a fully vegan interior, using pretty much everything you can find in my garage; recycled materials, including reclaimed fishing nets, old t-shirts, and renewed rubber. The seats are a unique Fisker design, and Limo Mode allows rear-seat passengers to control the audio system’s volume and adjust heating and air conditioning.

Fisker HyperSound is available in a 16-speaker, 500-watt configuration with a 20.5L subwoofer, delivering world-class sound.

Revolve center screen with Hollywood Mode

The Fisker Ocean has a 17.1-inch central, high-resolution Revolve screen that rotates from a default portrait Control Mode, effective when driving, to a landscape Hollywood Mode, available when the vehicle is parked. In combination with the premium audio options, the feature creates an immersive viewing environment for both front and rear seat occupants.

The Fisker Ocean will also boast 21st-century connectivity, with the capacity to have its features improved via over-the-air updates.

A proprietary ADAS technology

Fisker’s proprietary Advanced Driver Assist System, Fisker Intelligent Pilot, is built to enhance driver protection, safety, and comfort. This proactive safety system of automated electronic sensors (radar, ultrasonic, and cameras) and processing software continuously senses inputs, adds intelligence, and then engages when necessary to anticipate and prevent accidents.

The ADAS provides a broad range of advanced warning, safety-driven braking, and driver convenience features. Each feature expands a driver’s ability to sense dangers and intuitively controls the Fisker Ocean more safely.

Making good use of the Fisker Ocean’s batteries

The Fisker Ocean will have a set of technologies that enable owners to recharge other EVs, send power to the electrical grid, and use their vehicles as a backup source of emergency power for their homes. The company calls these technologies PowerCar, Power Grid, and PowerHouse.

Options to purchase – or lease with an innovative Flexee Lease offering

The Fisker Ocean will be available to purchase at the end of 2022, and customers can reserve a vehicle for a $250 deposit today. Customers may also lease a Fisker Ocean using the company’s innovative Flexee Lease. This option does away with long-term commitments and includes a 30,000-mile annual driving allowance.

The Fisker Flexee Lease is similar to a subscription model, not like a traditional lease. The Fisker Ocean Sport Flexee Lease starts at $379/month with a one-time $2,999 initiation and activation fee. The company will provide terms on other trim levels at a later date.

Partnerships

Magna (Magna International Inc.) – Manufacturing- Fisker Ocean

Fisker and Magna International confirmed the all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV is slated to start on November 17, 2022, at Magna’s world-class manufacturing carbon-neutral facility in Graz, Austria. Magna has produced more than 3.7 million cars and SUVs, including EVs, for several global luxury automakers.

Magna’s manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria, is carbon-neutral and powered in part by the nearby Murkraftwerk (fvluhr-Craft-Work) hydro-electric power station. Magna places a primary focus on reducing its consumption of raw materials and energy and minimizing the release of waste materials.

Magna’s alignment with Fisker’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing is foundational to the Fisker / Magna partnership.

Bridgestone- Tires- Fisker Ocean

Automotive innovator Fisker has selected Bridgestone as the exclusive tire partner for its all-electric Fisker Ocean, which will start production in 2022. Environmentally focused Fisker identified Bridgestone as a partner with a strong focus on sustainability across its entire value chain, from R&D and product development to manufacturing and retail.

The tires on the Fisker Ocean are made with Bridgestone’s “ENLITEN” technology, which both minimizes rolling resistance by up to 30% and reduces weight by up to 20%. Lower rolling resistance means the tire has less friction as it glides over the road, all without compromising traction and improving range. Also, the tires are made with fewer raw material resources, carrying both an environmental benefit and an end-of-life stage management.

Battery Supplier: CATL

CATL will supply two different battery solutions for the Fisker Ocean SUV. Fisker and CATL teams have been in close collaboration since 2020 to develop class-leading Fisker battery solutions optimized for vehicle structure, crashworthiness, and very high levels of energy density. The primary high-capacity pack, used in the Hyper Range battery packs in the Fisker Ocean One, Extreme, and Ultra trim levels, uses a lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cell chemistry. A second high-value pack offering CATL’s latest cells based on lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) chemistry will power the Fisker Ocean Sport trim level.

Magna-Steyr is manufacturing the Fisker Ocean at a carbon-neutral factory in Graz, Austria.
