One of the most anticipated electric SUVs of the year – also to be showcased at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show at the beginning of the year – is no other than Fisker’s exquisite Ocean electric Sports Utility Vehicle. Just a couple of hours ago, the carmaker officially released the full details of the model during a press release.
As the carmaker states in the press release, the Fisker Ocean is “the world’s most sustainable vehicle| to make world debut at the Consumer Electronics Show, and is regarded “as the world`s first all-digital car company” that “created real excitement in every corner of the globe.”
First off, the Fisker Ocean stands out from the crowd with a huge body – it measures 182.7 inches long and has enough room inside for two rows of seats and 20 cubic feet of cargo space at the back; this can be expanded to 45 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Next is the full-length solar roof on the exterior, which, according to Fisker, offers 1,000 sun-charged miles of driving throughout the whole year. Other stand-out features refer to massive 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, or 22-inch rims as optional.
Second, Fisker`s Ocean benefits from the best technological gadgets and gizmos, starting with the massive 16-inch center touch screen, while the driver enjoys a 9.8-inch screen in the cluster. There is also an integrated heads-up display for the driver, which monitors the car`s different parameters.
The cabin is also constructed from the green and recycled materials.
In sum, the Fisker Ocean power is a true monster, as an all-electric unit and only below 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. This was previously announced by Fisker, however, the power of the electric motors was not specified. And this transaction still did not occur. The electric motor’s battery is 80kWh too and can work within the range of 300 miles.
The Fisker Ocean will be available in 2021, and it will be priced at just $37,499, which is absolutely amazing and it will attract a lot of customers. The press release of the Fisker Ocean continues until all the details are coming later!

The World’s Most Sustainable Vehicle –From the Inside-Out.
Fisker Inc. believes that the industry should stop looking at innovation superficially and start taking responsibility for its products, end-to-end –giving customers the opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future. Some of the Fisker Ocean’s features include (not limited to):
