2024 Fisker Ocean Extreme

"Thinking About Buying a Fisker Ocean? 2026 Update # Thinking About Buying a Fisker Ocean in 2026? **First question: Is the Fisker Ocean a good car?** The honest answer in 2026 is still: **Yes — and No.** # The Yes # 1. It’s Still a Great-Driving EV While early reviews from outlets like Edmunds and U.S. News & World Report praised the Ocean’s strong performance, attractive design, comfortable ride and “California Mode” (all windows and roof open at once), the bankruptcy of Fisker Inc. and many negative reviews in 2024 created a challenging reputation for the car. The mood has decidedly changed since then. Recent articles from Wired Magazine and uploads from YouTuber Rich Rebuilds and Everything Electric Cars are examples of this positive shift. Thousands of owners who drive them daily still report comfortable seats, an excellent driving experience, solid highway performance, and real-world range that holds up well. For the money they are selling for in 2026, the performance-per-dollar ratio is extremely compelling. The Ocean remains one of the most distinctive EVs on the road. # 2. The Manufacturers Behind the Ocean are Still in Business While Fisker Inc. ceased operations, the Ocean was actually manufactured by **Magna Steyr**, a highly established Austrian automaker that also builds vehicles for BMW, Mercedes, and others. Mechanically, many components are robust. The drivetrain and core EV architecture are generally not the weak point. Another company involved in the manufacturing of the vehicle is **Chevalier**, who created and still supports components such as the door handles, Phone as Key Controller, and more. # 3. The 2026 Ecosystem Is Stronger Than Ever Before This is where 2026 buyers have a major advantage over early adopters. Parts availability is quite good now, contrary to popular belief. * In the U.S., **Tsunami Automotive** supplies many commonly needed components. In the EU, **Tidal Wave** fills a similar role. * Other options include Salvage Surfers, eBay, Errons, Fisker Ocean Parts (UK), Electrified Ocean, and more. While not dealership-level logistics, the parts situation is *far better than the early bankruptcy uncertainty period.* **Software & Updates** The Ocean’s software stability in 2026 is a dramatically improved experience compared to the software provided at launch. * **OV Loop** provides software updates and internet connectivity for owners w"

"Fisker Ocean One driving range and cost My first pass at figuring out real world range and cost to home charge FOO. I do not have daily losses as other have reported. I'm on the latest OTA 1.09. Tires are at 44PSI front, 49PSI rear. I've done 2 charges so far with my Tesla Universal Charger. I'm trying to confirm some numbers like stated battery size and usable capacity. 116KWh and 106.5Kwh usable is what I've found. My last charge was from 69% to 81% that added 43 miles of range. Tesla app claims I used 15.6KWh. It was claiming a 7.0KWh charge rate through most of it. The car dash was reading about 6.2KWh. I will assume this is losses in charging which equals about 88% eff. If we trust the EPA range of 360, then 43/360=15.6\*(6.2/7.0)/capacity. Capacity equals 116KWh. Obviously we probably have some rounding errors with charge percentage, miles added and efficiency losses . So I will need to keep repeating these tests to see where it ends up. I forgot to get the actual mileage driven from the car, but that is another sore subject with me as to why it isn't always showing in the gauge cluster., but buried as a second page on the charge screen. Plus no trip odometer yet. I drove from my house straight to the airport and back. Google lists it as 34.2 miles round trip for the route I took. It was mixed driving with city, highway and lights, 60 mins round trip. A couple of quick passes. Who can resist? My range to empty dropped 42 miles. I Started at 80% charge, so my 15.6KWh was for charging to 81%, which means I used 14.3KWh (11/12\*15.6KWh) for the trip. Looks like 2.4miles/KWh (From grid with losses). So with these numbers 34.2/42\*360 equals a real world range of 293 miles at moderate temperatures. Cool day in Phoenix with temps about 76 at drive time. A/C was on and California mode was used for the last 20% of the trip. I'm with SRP and cost with taxes and fees is about $0.10/KWh. Thats 24 miles/dollar. A gallon of gas in my area is about $4.00 so equivalent of 96MPG. I hope I did these calculations right. Anyone else crunch some numbers yet? ​"

"Fisker Ocean vs Kia EV6 Anybody have direct experience with both vehicles mentioned in the title, and if so, could you offer a comparison? The Ocean has more range on paper, but I've seen some dismal real-world accounts of Ocean range on this sub, and the 230 miles Car and Driver got out of the EV6 at 75mph on the highway seems pretty reasonable. So, range aside: how do these two compare in your experience? Asking for a friend. For my part: I have an Ocean Ultra reservation, and it's currently "At US Port". It was originally predicted to be "At Facility" as soon as Jan 08, 2024... but that just got revised to Jan. 14, 2024 yesterday afternoon. I've been trying for over a month to get somebody at Fisker Inc to respond to repeated inquiries about taking advantage of the promotional 1.99% interest rate (I got approval for a loan on Oct. 28, but the 45 day window for that offer has been up for a while), and after many lapsed "somebody will get back to you within 48 hours"es from Fisker New Vehicle Delivery, automated Radgiver suggestions that I contact Fisker Finance, insistence from *Fisker Finance* that it was *Fisker Inc* that needed to reset my profile so I could reapply... and that they (Fisker Finance) would "escalate" my request with Fisker Inc (3 times)... along with a couple completely unacknowledged emails to my VA... I finally got somebody from "New Vehicle Delivery" (Fisker "Sales" has not ever answered one of my calls, in spite of being on hold for over an hour on one occasion) to humor me and try to go outside their lane and help me figure this out (to their credit). They responded with an email the next day telling me my vehicle was scheduled to arrive at the vehicle processing center on Jan. 10, 2024, and that I had to wait until it was there to apply for financing (even though I had already applied once and gotten approval on Oct. 28, 2023). He offered that I could call on Jan. 9 and see if it got there early? I logged onto my Fisker account an hour later and my estimated arrival at facility was now Jan. 14. Anyway, that's all beside the point. My friend is between a Fisker Ocean and a Kia EV6, and it seems like he could even use the Wallbox charger I... I mean he... already purchased and installed.... for... reasons. He even saw a couple used EV6s with \~25,000 miles for \~$36,000 that could take the sting out of a lost $250 reservation fee, $1,000 deposit for "firm order status", and maybe-possible-backdated $7,500 Federal EV credit. Ya know, if he had paid those.... which he didn't, of course. So, again, for those of you who've had the opportunity to own, or maybe even just drive both the EV6 and Ocean; how do they compare? ​"

"Fisker Ocean review: Stylish EV or risky gamble? Fresh from the design board of Henrik Fisker, the Fisker Ocean blends eye-catching style with eco-friendly ideas like a solar roof and recycled materials. It’s a mid-size electric SUV that turned heads with its 17″ rotating touchscreen and “California Mode,” where all the windows drop for a convertible feel. What stands out driving is comfort and that quirky personality. The ride is smooth, the surf‑inspired interior feels mature, more luxurious than a Model Y, with suede seats and physical buttons for climate control. The solar roof can add around 1,000 miles per year, a neat bonus. On performance, it has solid acceleration, 0–60 mph in roughly 4 seconds for the Extreme model and a range between 230 mi and 440 mi, depending on trim and battery size. However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing behind the scenes. Fisker’s bankruptcy in mid‑2024 halted production, froze software updates, and drastically cut resale values, I’ve seen examples lose up to 80% value in a year. Owners report software bugs, glitchy infotainment, odd braking behavior, and even safety recalls tied to power loss . One owner called it a “rough” ownership experience even while praising its design. Pros: It looks and feels premium, offers strong acceleration, a generous real-world range, solar roof perks, and a fun, laid‑back cabin vibe. Cons: Software and electronics lack polish, warranty and future support are uncertain after bankruptcy, resale value took a nosedive, and driving dynamics, like braking and cornering, are uneven compared to rivals. If you’re after a head-turner EV with smart features and don’t mind taking a risk on its future support and value, the Ocean can deliver a fun ride. But it clearly has growing pains and financial risks attached. So, would love to hear from the community, have you driven or bought a Fisker Ocean? Did you find its design and features worth the gamble, or did the issues push you away?"

I reverse engineered the EPA numbers, and got something like estimated highway range of ~328, if I recall correctly. So 90% of that is **295 miles**. > > So minus 160 would leave ~135 miles, but if you're driving at 70 mph, and using the heater, I would assume it will not get anything close to the ideal range. My guess is you have below 100 range left when you get to Portland. Maybe 80 miles or so. > > > Click to expand... It's a bit of a shame as although we love Fiskers I thought it be a clear market leader on range. Tesla long range is 300ish in comparison. > ash.bruno82 said: > > It's a bit of a shame as although we love Fiskers I thought it be a clear market leader on range.

So the advertised ~300 mile range on a 2023 Tesla will be quite a bit less for highway driving, and also less if using the larger wheel size. So maybe 250 miles. And charged to only 90%, that would be 225 miles."
