Fisker Ocean has everything to take on the Tesla Model Y…

Fisker it may not be a household name, but it’s not a new brand. The founder previously launched brands and models, mainly in 2008. Henrik Fisker, the designer behind the BMW Z8, Aston Martin Vantage V8 and VLF Force 1 supercar, then launched Karmathe first electric luxury sedan and column extender. But despite the attractive design and technical characteristics, it did not succeed. In 2013 the brand was closed bankruptafter that it was bought by the Chinese.

But Henrik Fisher he persevered and decided to relaunch his brand and produce electric cars, starting with the sea SUVwhich was already presented in 2020. He already appeared with technological innovations, such as solar panels on the roof that charges the battery and gives the car a distance of up to 1,600 kilometers per year.

Long run

A year after it was announced that it will be launched in Europe, the Fisker’s Sea it is finally available and we know more about its price and technical specifications. The car will be available in different power types and batteries. The most interesting at the moment seems to be the basic version Sports one time 275 pk electric motor and battery with a total capacity of 66 kWh.

Fisker has completed the European WLTP contact test to determine the driving range of its Ocean. The tests were better than expected: Ocean Sport achieved a variety of driving car 464 kilometers62 km more than the previous forecast and, more importantly, 9 km better than the same Tesla Model Y. The difference may seem small, but it proves that Sea can compete with the best.

Amazing price

And that’s not all, because Bahari is also attractive in terms of price, even if it is a little more expensive than previously announced. The sports version costs Euro 43.990which is still there 4,000 euros less then it is Tesla Model Y. This competitive price doesn’t mean it’s an empty car, because equipment includes a 17.1-inch touchscreen, glass roof, 360-degree cameras, power tailgate, lane assist, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring and emergency braking with intersection function.

You can order through the brand’s website. Fisker hopes that the publicity surrounding the car in Europe will help raise awareness to increase sales, because it’s currently on the back burner. Fisker was aiming for 42,000 vehicles a year, but so far sales figures have been disappointing, with only between 13,000 and 17,000 being sold. The brand is in the red number. But wasn’t that also the case with Tesla for a long time? The first Ocean shipment is expected in early 2024.
