Fisker to start Ocean SUV deliveries in China next year

Fisker

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 Ocean deliveries in Europe have only just begun, the US deliveries are starting next week, and the electric SUV looks like a promising option. It has an EPA rating of 360 miles for the top-of-the-range Ocean Extreme that’s priced at $68,999. This model comes with a 113 kWh battery pack and dual-motor powertrain packs 420 kW (563 hp), and its 544 lb-ft of torque is enough for the 5,366 lb SUV to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds.

The cheapest model is the $37,499 Fisker Ocean Sport with a smaller 75 kWh LFP battery pack and a single electric motor pushing out 205 kW (275 hp). This model is still waiting for its EPA rating, while the WLTP estimates give it a range of 273 miles.

At 187.8 inches length, the Ocean is only a couple of centimeters longer than Tesla Model Y, but it is substantially heavier. It isn’t that much slower in its top Extreme trim, but since it is made in Austria, it doesn’t qualify for the US EV tax credits - at least not for the purchase option. While many people question its ability to compete with Tesla Model Y, Fisker Ocean is an attractive vehicle on its own, and while Model Y may be the cheapest option these days, there are enough people out there who want an electric SUV that’s not Tesla.
