The Fisker Thread

Fisker Pear production pushed back to 2025 due to battery supply issues

The production of Fisker's second EV, the Pear, has been delayed until 2025. Initially, the vehicle was supposed to roll off the production line sometime next year, but due to undisclosed issues with the battery supplier, the date had to be pushed back. The information comes straight from Henrik Fisker, the company's CEO and founder.

The news comes shortly after Fisker announced cuts in the Ocean SUV production. Fisker once again pointed at supply chain issues for that. The firm estimates 10,000 fewer Oceans will be made in 2023.

Fisker remains optimistic, though, since the small Pear SUV will start at an impressive $29,900 in the US and £28,000 in the UK and there surely is strong demand for cheap EVs in Europe.

Fisker Ocean Extreme gets an EPA rating of 579 km

Fisker Ocean is turning into the one to watch - despite many industry experts doubting the company for its unusual business model with outsourced manufacturing. After some delays, the company’s first electric car, the Ocean, has already launched in Europe and is getting ready for the North American market. One of the final steps before the US debut was getting the EPA rating - that’s in the bag now, with competition already blown out of the water.

Fisker Ocean got its WLTP rating of 708 km at the end of March, and it was already a statement to Fisker’s design and engineering. The company expected to get an EPA rating of 563 km - it got more, 579 km in mixed cycle driving. That makes the Ocean the king of the range - the Tesla Model X manages 560 km, but it costs €28,000 more.

The Fisker somehow manages to blow established competitors out of the water in style. The 4,774 mm long Ocean is only a smidgen longer than Tesla Model Y Performance and Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, and the fully-loaded Extreme version costs €70,000 in Europe. It comes with a 105 kWh (usable) battery pack, and it is powered by two electric motors putting out a combined 420 kW (563 hp) and 737 Nm of torque.

2023 Fisker Ocean Has More Range Than A Tesla Model Y

The EPA rated the new Fisker Ocean at 360 miles of range.

If you’re skeptical about Fisker’s ability to stay in business, you’re not alone. But you never know. Maybe this time around, Fisker will actually be successful. Jokes aside, we have to admit that the Fisker Ocean looks like a much more appealing vehicle than the old Fisker Karma, so we’re at least open to the possibility that the company is here to stay. Especially now that the Ocean’s EPA-estimated range has been announced.

Car and Driver reports that the Fisker Ocean is officially rated at 360 miles of range. That’s only for the top-end Ocean Extreme with 20-inch wheels, but it’s still impressive. For comparison, the Tesla Model Y Long Range only has 330 miles of range. The Ocean’s range is also greater than what you get in the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Volkswagen ID.4, Toyota bZ4X and Nissan Ariya.

Fisker to start Ocean SUV deliveries in China next year

Following in the footsteps of many other Western automakers, Fisker is planning to bring its brand to China. Lucid was the latest company to join the efforts of selling US-made vehicles in the country, and Fisker, buoyed by its recent start of production and first deliveries, wants to spread its wings as well.

The company officially established its China presence last year when it opened up its local offices, but there was no talk of sales until now. After the recent visit to China, Henryk Fisker confirmed the company will begin the sales preparations with the first deliveries at the beginning of 2024.

Fisker is taking China seriously, the company expects to sell 75,000 vehicles a year in the country. This of course won’t be possible using their production base in Austria, and the company is looking at establishing local production as early as next year. Initial Fisker Ocean vehicles will be imported, but the company will want to replace them with China-made units as quickly as possible.

Fisker delivers first 22 Oceans to US customers

The wait is over for 22 lucky American customers - Fisker delivered the first units of its long-awaited electric SUV. At a special event in LA, at Fisker’s La Palma R&D offices, Henrik Fisker himself handed the keys to the first Fisker Ocean vehicles and even went as far as autographing at least one of the vehicles, of course on customer’s request.

Deliveries in Europe started a while back but are off to a slow start and the company seems to be focusing its efforts on the American market. The publicly available data suggest 4 Fisker Oceans were delivered in Germany and 4 in Denmark so far, while the event in LA saw 22 units delivered in one swift move.

Fisker Ronin GT promises 966 km of range

Fisker is gearing up to give EV enthusiasts a peek at its third model, the enigmatic Fisker Ronin. While details about this electric super GT remain scant, the hype around its potential is growing. With its CEO dropping hints of an incredible 966 km of range, is the Ronin about to shake up the EV industry?

Hot on the heels of delivering its flagship SUV, the Ocean, in the US, Fisker seems to be full steam ahead with its newest model. Unveiled on social media platforms, the convertible super GT is raising eyebrows for its promised range. A grand leap forward, the anticipated 966 km, if real, will surpass the current record held by Lucid Motor's Air Dream Edition, which boasts a range of 837 km.

Fisker's CEO, Henrik Fisker, shared a sneak peek of the Ronin GT on his personal Instagram account, sparking curiosity amongst the brand's followers. Described as an 'All-Electric Super GT', he teased that the car would be "super fast" and have room for five, branding it as "the ultimate long-distance Grand Touring car."

Fisker says it is riding the EV wave - but is it really stuck in the swell?

Fisker, the California-based whiz-kid of the EV world, is that one student in class who, despite their promise, keeps missing the mark on the tricky math problems. Their recent production figures for the second quarter of 2023 stand testament to this recurring theme.

Having finally embarked on their EV journey last November, the Fisker family was all smiles as the first Ocean SUV saw the light of day in May. The milestone was celebrated, but the number crunchers in the background couldn't help but spot the discrepancy between reality and the ambitious targets set by the EV maker.

In the first quarter, the Ocean SUV fleet was just 55 units strong, considerably shy of the initial 300-vehicle goal. Wearing their optimism on their sleeves, Fisker forecasted a much rosier Q2, with plans to churn out between 1,400 and 1,700 EVs. But alas, the numbers weren't in their favor again - they could muster up only 1,022 vehicles.

Fisker declares entry into biggest U.S. market with a “Ferrari” of pickup trucks

Fisker is on a roll and is broadening its horizons. After tickling the electric vehicle market with the introduction of its Ocean SUV, the company now confirms its foray into the electric pickup truck industry. CEO Henrik Fisker promises an experience tantamount to what Ferrari would offer, should the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer venture into pickup trucks - well, that's one way to get our attention.

The vehicle, once rumored under the pseudonym 'Alaska program,' is now confirmed, marking an interesting addition to the growing line-up of electric pickup trucks. Names like Rivian, Ford, GM, and the ever-intriguing Tesla Cybertruck are already making waves in this segment. Amidst these already blooming ventures, Fisker's entry looks promising as it targets the swelling premium pickup market, especially in the U.S.

Sustainability is at the core of Fisker's goals, and the yet-to-be-named pickup truck plans to carry that forward, leveraging innovative sustainable (in plain English - recycled) materials. The aim is to build the most eco-friendly truck out there, in line with the Ocean SUV, which flaunted the tagline "world's most sustainable car."

Fisker Ronin goes official on August 3

The electric vehicle market is about to get a whole lot spicier with the arrival of the Fisker Ronin. With whispers of a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system and an outlandish 966 km of range, the Ronin is a promise wrapped in an enigma, hiding behind a curtain of high-tech veneer. But the question remains - can Fisker make good on these ambitious claims?

Now, don't get us wrong - we appreciate a good tease as much as the next person. We've all been treated to some interesting tidbits about this "world's first all-electric, four-door convertible GT sports car." First off, it's set to be an all-wheel-drive beast with an alleged 0-60 mph acceleration in about two seconds. If that doesn't get your heart racing, then we don't know what will. And yes, you read it right – a 4-seat 4-door convertible! Fisker is holding a dedicated Product Vision Day on August 3 when Ronin will finally see the light of day.

Now, onto the pièce de résistance - the promised 966 km of range. This alone could potentially catapult the Ronin into a league of its own, eclipsing the current record held by the Lucid Air Dream Edition. Skepticism aside, if Fisker can pull this off, it'll have certainly earned its moment in the EV spotlight.

But, if the past is prologue, let's remember that the road to EV greatness is littered with the debris of broken promises and overhyped dreams. So, should we get our hopes up?
