The Fisker Ocean SUV is coming, and heading into the growing electric SUV market. That means competition is going to be fierce, and the Fisker is going to need to offer something special. Because it’s not going to be easy to grab the hearts and minds of drivers.

But Fisker has plenty of things to offer, including a solar-equipped roof, 350 miles of range, recycled materials, and a price tag that rings in under $40,000. While there aren’t a great many details about the car, here’s everything we know about the Fisker Ocean so far.

 Fisker Ocean: Release window and price

The first Fisker Ocean models were due to arrive towards the end of 2021, or early 2022 at the latest. Apparently Fisker has secured a “strategic global and localized supply chain” with expectations that it will produce more than a million cars between 2020 and 2027.

However things have now changed, and the automaker has confirmed the car won’t be going into production until November 2022 — following a launch at the LA motor show in November 2021. The European debut is set to happen in February 2022 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but there’s no word on a release date.

Deliveries are on track to start before the end of next year.

The wait may be a good thing, considering it would have been a tall order to get those cars ready before the end of this year.

From a price angle, things are looking quite reasonable. The Fisker Ocean is set to start at $37,499 for the base Ocean Sport trim. The middle-trim Ocean Ultra starts at $49,999, while the more premium Ocean Extreme starts at $68,889.

Fisker is also set to offer the Ocean through a flexible leasing programme, secured with a $2,999 ‘initiation and activation fee’. That lease offers 30,000 miles a year, includes maintenance and service. Sign-ups are open now, with a $250 refundable deposit.

Fisker Ocean: Design and interior

From the outside the Fisker Ocean looks very much like your standard SUV. It has room to comfortably fit five passengers, though we don’t have any specific dimensions yet. From the outside it looks like there’s plenty of room inside, and hopefully that also translates to trunk space.

Fisker also claims that the car has “the highest five star safety rating,” thanks to prominent side impact protection beams. But we haven’t had any official statements from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or any other regulator in charge of crash testing cars.

Like a lot of electric cars these days, there will be a large 17.1-inch touchscreen control panel on the dash, alongside a digital gauge cluster. 

This screen debuted at the LA Auto show, and is capable of rotating between landscape and portrait orientations at the push of a button— portrait being the default. However this particular feature will only be available on the $68,889 Fisker Ocean Extreme.

The Fisker Ocean is also set to come with a heads-up display and some sort of modern infotainment system. Details on that are scarce, but the company has hinted at a Karaoke mode, similar to Tesla’s ‘Careoke’ feature.

The Ocean is also set to be made from a variety of recycled materials, which Fisker claims makes the car “the world’s most sustainable vehicle.” Whether that comes true has yet to be seen, but we can still expect an interior that is “100 percent vegan” and made from things like recycled fishing nets, bottles, tires, and worn out t-shirts. 

Fisker Ocean: Battery and range

The Fisker Ocean will have a pretty hefty battery pack, packing in at least 80 kWh. Recharging can be done at speeds up to 350kW, via Electrify America’s network, and will restore 200 miles of range in around 30 minutes.

According to Fisker the entry-level Ocean Sport will get 250 miles of range, and uses a similar kind of lithium ion phosphate battery to the ones Tesla puts in its own low-range cars. These batteries, while lacking in energy density, are significantly cheaper and more stable than the alternatives, and don’t require nickel or cobalt.

Meanwhile the Ocean Ultra and Ocean Extreme will offer 340 and 350 miles, respectively. These use lithium-manganese-cobalt-oxide batteries.

Fisker has also promised that the solar panels in the Ocean’s roof will offer an additional 1,000 miles of range every year, which is an average of 2.7 miles every day. However the amount you generate will obviously depend on the local weather and climate. Because someone living in New England isn’t going to get as much sun as someone living in Southern California. 

Fisker has previously talked about its work researching solid state battery technology, which is essentially the holy grail in the EV world. If successful (and that’s a big if), Fisker claims the battery can recoup 500 miles of range in a single minute. pretty bold claims, but don’t expect this to happen anytime soon

Fisker Ocean: Performance

The Fisker Ocean has some pretty solid performance for a car of its size, or at least that’s what we can tell based on the specs Fisker has released so far. All models will have two motors, one on each axle, while there will be two and four wheel drive variants.

The most powerful model is the Ocean Extreme, which packs in 550 horsepower and can go from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. That won’t break any records, but it’s an impressive time none-the-less.  After all it’s only just beyond the Performance model Tesla Model Y, which clears 60mph in 3.5 seconds.

The Ocean Ultra has 540 horsepower and clear that speed in a slightly lower 3.9 seconds, while the entry-level Ocean Sport has just 275 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds.

While the Ocean Sport only has a single front wheel motor, the Ultra and Extreme will offer a dual-motor AWD setup.

Fisker Ocean: Autonomous features

No details have been revealed about the Fisker Ocean’s autonomous features right now. However, given how common they are in electric vehicles, especially high-end models, there should be some driver assistance features thrown in.

At the very least we should expect autonomous cruise control and blind spot detection. We’d also be surprised if it didn’t have limited autonomous steering and lane change assistance as well. Anything beyond that may be a tall order, and we certainly shouldn’t expect anything close to true driver-free autonomy. Especially for under $40,000.

Fisker Ocean: Outlook

It seems as though every automaker has its sights on the electric SUV market, including the premium car makers like Porsche and Bentley. So is newcomer Fisker going to be able to compete with the brands that have had decades to establish themselves? That’s not clear yet. 

And we can’t say anything definitively until we hear more about the car. But from what we know right now, the Fisker Ocean is ticking all the right boxes. Long range? Check. Affordability? Double check. Luxury? Certainly seems that way.

It’s certainly a car to keep your eye on as the year progresses. Especially given its late 2021/early 2022 launch date means it’ll be beating a lot of better-known cars to market. Let’s just hope the Ocean has what it takes to stand out.
