\nCalifornian-based EV brand Fisker goes after style-savvy, range-conscious buyers with its first production model<\/p>\n

As the struggles of so many car makers to ignite the sales growth of their electric car lines continue to show, there\u2019s still plenty of need for reassurance among those looking to buy their first EV.While people who\u2019ve already made the leap may argue it differently, many still see electric cars, which cost more than their ICE equivalents, as having potentially problematic usability for those who can\u2019t depend on easy home charging.The Fisker Ocean, the emergent American-based EV specialist\u2019s first production car, engages with those perceptions head on. Designed in California but built by Magna Steyr in Austria (on the same line that, until recently, cranked out the BMW 530e), this is an unexpectedly compact, European-flavoured SUV that leads with its smooth-surfaced, sophisticated design. In the metal, it looks a little like a slightly squatter, stretched Range Rover Evoque\u00a0–\u00a0but it certainly escapes the awkward proportions of so many of its electric rivals, and is distinctive enough to stand out in its own right. It’s a good-looking car, this – just as you’d expect given\u00a0the reputation of the eminent car designer whose name adorns\u00a0its model badge.But while the Ocean\u2019s wide-stanced, sharp-featured styling is typically seen on cars with \u2018premium-brand\u2019 associations, Fisker actively avoids such a classification. It sees customers moving away from the automotive nameplates associated with consumerist \u2018aspiration\u2019 over the past half-century and towards new ones that better embody their personal values. Then again, if it only asks those who come and knock on its door in the first place, so it probably would.Sustainability is the company\u2019s mantra. Fisker wants to make the most sustainable electric cars in the world and (admittedly only according to the company\u2019s own lifecycle emissions study) claims the Ocean has a lighter \u2018whole lifecycle\u2019 carbon footprint than the Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40 Recharge\u00a0\u2013 as well as most combustion-engined equivalents when judged solely on their fuel-burning daily usage phase.The Ocean\u2019s interior has been designed with a focus on that resource-light footprint. There\u2019s more than 50kg of recycled content in the car, from carpets to seat fabrics made of recaptured sea plastics. Its fascia mouldlings are all unpainted and uncoated, so they\u2019re simpler and quicker to manufacture and easier to recycle. Its textiles avoid complicated stitching and decoration. You can\u2019t see the door speakers because they\u2019re mounted on the \u2018B-side\u2019 of the panel, which reduces manufacturing complexity.\u00a0In isolation, it may sound a little like a convenient excuse not to compete with the European brands on perceived quality, but Fisker\u2019s company-wide focus on sustainability seems to run much too deep to be about cost-saving.Neither does it actually make the Ocean look or feel flimsy or cheaply put together. Sure, there\u2019s a sense of simplicity, and slight plainness, about bits of the cabin design, but given the car\u2019s price positioning (which we\u2019ll come to), it\u2019s all easily acceptable. The cabin has a tidy, pared-back look and layout, with a column-mounted shift selector, simple digital instrumentation, and most secondary controls contained within the 17.1in portrait-orientated touchscreen console. There are separate physical controls for the heating and air-con, though, as well as for the windows and sunroof.And, thanks to Henrik Fisker\u2019s aim to give each of his cars at least four unique features \u2013 and the man\u2019s own sense of flamboyance, no doubt \u2013 the Ocean also has some interesting points of difference. How many times have you wondered why EVs don\u2019t come with solar panels to harvest sunlight energy? Most of their makers have so far claimed they\u2019d add too much weight, cost too much and contribute too little power to be worth their place but, once again, Fisker thinks differently.So range-topping Oceans get a two-panel SolarSky roof, developed by supplier Webasto, which the company claims adds between 1500 and 2000 miles of electric range over a year\u2019s usage (in, ahem, a fairly sunny environment). That\u2019s not enough to be an alternative to actually plugging the car into the mains, clearly, or to extend its range much during summer touring. But if it\u2019s free energy, they say, so why not grab it?\u2018California mode\u2019 is another of Fisker\u2019s brainwaves. At the touch of a button, the car simultaneously opens its sunroof and fully lowers seven of the eight panes in the glasshouse (leaving only the windscreen in place), for the closest you can get to an open-air driving experience without actually removing the roof. Likewise on pricier trims, the car\u2019s infotainment screen can rotate to a landscape orientation when parked, to allow you to stream your favourite TV shows while you wait for it to charge. (Fisker calls this \u2018Hollywood mode.\u2019) They\u2019re novel features, both: a laugh, if a bit gimmicky.But the substance hasn\u2019t been neglected elsewhere. Fisker\u2019s intention was to bring value to the family EV class with this car \u2013 and, whether you\u2019re buying an Ocean at an entry- or mid-level price, it does just that.A mid-level, twin-motor, Ultra-spec model is priced from just under \u00a350,000 in the UK \u2013 in a segment where you’ll pay\u00a0\u00a351,000 for a 77kWh Hyundai Ioniq 5, \u00a353,000 for a Tesla Model Y with 85kWh, \u00a356,000 for an equivalent 65kWh BMW iX1, and\u00a0\u00a365,000 for a 91kWh Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD. And yet the Fisker gets 106kWh of usable battery capacity, and up to 440 miles of WLTP-certified electric range \u2013 figures that much more expensive EVs such as the Mercedes EQS only just about pip.During our testing, it proved itself well capable of 375-400 miles of range on a warm day, in mixed urban, motorway and country road driving. It\u2019d be farther still, needless to say, the more town driving you did. This is the kind of car that plenty of people with on-street parking or apartment lifestyles could charge once or twice a week, then, at their nearest fast charger (DC charging is possible at up to 200kW) or on a nearby on-street AC charging post, using it almost as if it were a combustion-engined equivalent.Weight is the price that the Fisker Ocean\u00a0pays for all that although actually it carries it quite well. Our range-topping model was 400kg heavier than some key rivals, and while anything but slow, it does ride and handle with a clear sense of inertia, and of gentle roll, jounce and sway as it deals with bumps and bends.It\u2019s comfortable and refined, though, and has greater suppleness, isolation and calm than a Tesla Model Y or a Ford Mustang Mach-E \u2013 because it\u2019s not a car preoccupied with misplaced driver appeal. Steering is medium paced and weighted, and grip level stout and secure, although the car starts to nudge into progressive understeer and to depend on its electronic stability controls when hurried through corners. It drives in a way that\u2019s more likely to appeal to Land Rover, Volvo and Mercedes regulars than BMW, Audi, Ford or Polestar exiles, I\u2019d say. But there\u2019s a refinement, maturity and pragmatism to the Ocean\u2019s dynamic tuning that\u2019s feels like it\u2019s been engineered in at some trouble.And the car\u2019s value positioning doesn\u2019t end there. If you\u2019re happier with less range, less power and a cheaper car than our test example, the entry-level, single-motor, front-drive Ocean Sport (lithium-iron-phosphate battery, circa 70kWh) is set to offer 270 horsepower and a WLTP-certified 275 miles of range from just \u00a335,970. Which is, let\u2019s face it, Kia Niro EV or Peugeot e-2008 money for a significantly larger and more useful car.\u00a0Fisker’s first production model, the Ocean, has arrived!We got to experience it first-hand… pic.twitter.com\/SsbLcyreDl\u2014 Autocar (@autocar) August 1, 2023\u00a0That, it seems to me, is a bit of a breakthrough for the family EV market. How is Henrik Fisker able to come at that market with such standout value? Perhaps because his is a compact, lean company unencumbered by the fixed costs of manufacturing its own cars; and perhaps because the cars themselves are directly sold online, without the support of a widespead dealer network (so you\u2019ll have to go to Westfield London to test drive one, and to collect it).It remains to be seen what the ownership experience of a Fisker might be like, of course \u2013 whether the software bugs that so commonly afflict brand-new cars might also affect this one, and if so for how long, and how the company\u2019s service back-up might deal with them. It\u2019s a new company, so teething problems should be expected.But so much about this car suggests that both Fisker and its manufacturer, Magna Steyr, have taken as much care with its execution as its design, which is a heartening sign. Its pricing and range, meanwhile, should get it off to a promising start all by themselves.<\/p>\n\n
