Every time Henrik Fisker — the designer of the BMW Z8 roadster, and a giant a part of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and DB9 — does one thing new, I listen.

The brand new Fisker Ocean all-electric is just the most recent such growth. Priced at simply $37,499 — $29,999 with the total $7,500 federal tax credit score for electric-car purchases — it could be probably the most formidable competitor to Tesla.

Not surprisingly coming from Henrik, it’s a good wanting crossover that some have in comparison with the the Vary Rover Evoque.

The varied trim ranges are a Base Ocean Sport ($37,499), front-wheel drive, 275 HP, 250 miles of vary; Ocean Extremely ($49,999) appears to be the candy spot with all-wheel drive, 340 miles of vary. 540 horsepower, 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. I’m not fairly certain what the Ocean Excessive will get you for one more $20k ($68,999) apart from just a little extra vary and HP and better trim ranges and that cool photo voltaic roof (0-60 in 3.6 secs).

I like the thought of a Photo voltaic roof and a touchscreen that may rotate 90 levels.

The WSJ reported that “Fisker maintained its 2023 manufacturing goal of 42,400 autos, The corporate mentioned orders for its sport-utility automobile proceed growing regardless of rising competitors and value cuts from different EV makers similar to Tesla.”
