According to its creators, the Fisker Ocean is the most environmentally friendly model in the world. Its electric drivetrain and other technical solutions help it, in theory, to consume little energy. However, this cover letter will have to be revalidated by the public. The reason is simple: the American firm still does not have any model on the market. To this must be added that their ambition is high and they could fail.
To avoid this situation, Fisker wants his new all-road to be available in much of the world. That includes the European continent and as such, his presentation was to take place in Geneva. The problem is that after the cancellation due to the Coronavirus epidemic, they have had to change their plans. Now, instead of holding a public event, they will do it behind closed doors through a video press conference.
The Fisker Ocean for Europe was to debut in Geneva
Taking into account that the model we knew was intended for the American market, the European changes some aspects. input, maintains the external size at 4,64 meters, placing itself in the segment of the Audi Q5 and CIA. In addition, it will offer class-leading cargo space, with a trunk that will reach 708 liters. But the bottom line is under the skin, and we're talking about its innovative electric powertrain.
The access version will offer a power of 225 kW (306 hp). However, later another higher performance will be added that will allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in less than three seconds. All, with an autonomy, according to brand estimates, is over 300 km. In any case, this figure could be reduced once it is translated to the WLTP protocol.
La marketing of the Fisker Ocean should start in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2021. Therefore, the fastest customers will receive the first units at the beginning of 2022. In case you like it, and want one, already you can book it with a 250 dollar advance. For Europe there are still no official rates, but in your country it will start at $29.999 thanks to government aid.
It will be necessary to see how their range starts and if they maintain the same sales plan. The client can choose several formulas, among which is the traditional purchase or some very similar to renting for individuals. With everything, they hope that by the year 2027 they will have manufactured a million units. Now, we wonder: will they be able or will everything remain in mere numbers?
