We first saw the concept version of the Fisker ocean vehicle back at CES in 2020 and the production version that debuted Wednesday looks extremely familiar as its name suggests this fashionable family hauler was created under the watch of automotive industry veteran and design legend Henrik 

Fisker he's the new company's co-founder chairman CEO and even its head designer he wears more hats than a kitchen full of chefs intended to be one of the most sustainable and innovative vehicles available the ocean features plenty of clever amenities is made partly of recycled materials and even features a rotating infotainment screen the ocean is about six 

inches longer than a Honda CRV and it rolls on a wheelbase that's about 10 inches greater so it's kind of a tweener the vehicle is built on a platform that was initially developed by Magnus stair a company with a long history of assembling vehicles for various automakers but this foundation has been heavily modified by Fisker according to Henrik Fisker about 90 of it has been changed still starting with an existing architecture saved an enormous amount of time helping Fisker develop this vehicle in about two and a half years instead of the four or so it usually takes among other things this means owners will get more advanced technology than is usually available in new cars because the lead time is significantly less one of this vehicle's signature features is the revolve infotainment display which should have the highest resolution in the automotive industry at 17.1 inches. it's absolutely huge but that's not its neatest trick this screen actually rotates on the dashboard going from a portrait orientation to landscape so-called Hollywood mode  the former is intended for when you're driving while the latter allows you to watch movies or consume other content when parked burnishing its eco-friendly credentials many components of the ocean's five-seat interior take advantage of recycled materials all the carpets for instance are made from used fishing nets and plastic bottles plenty of other interesting materials including vegan leather are employed to the front-wheel-drive sport model the base ocean configuration comes with a lithium-ion phosphate battery manufactured by Chinese company cal this electron reservoir holds enough juice to provide an admirable 250 miles of range higher-end all-wheel-drive versions of this SUV feature a hyper range cattle battery that features nickel manganese cobalt chemistry depending on the model this delivers either 340 or 350 miles on a single charge but why offer two battery packs Fisker explained it's because the company needed to keep costs down the entry-level model will be more affordable than you might expect priced to compete with many mainstream SUVs available today though high-end oceans will reach solidly into luxury territory burnishing its environmental credentials extreme and ocean one trims feature a solar sky roof that in ideal conditions can supply up to 2000 miles of extra range yearly from the sun in less favorable circumstances it can still give you 1500 miles for free each year which is nothing to sneeze at as for performance the base model features a single electric motor powering the front wheels it delivers 275 horsepower enough to get the ocean to 60 miles per hour in a respectable 6.9 seconds the ultra-extreme in ocean 1 models all come with torque-vectoring all-wheel drive the ultra model will brandish an estimated 540 horsepower enough to enable a 0-60 dash of just 3.9 seconds extreme in ocean one variant should have 550 horsepower enough to hit mile a minute velocity and occur 3.6 seconds the vehicle's maximum towing capacity is an impressive 4000 pounds increasing the ocean's versatility it will also support bi-directional charging meaning it can feed electricity right into your home's electrical system during high demand periods or power outages the ford f-150 lightning pickup truck for instance also offers this potentially life-saving feature available on ultra-extreme and ocean one models California mode is another innovative feature at the press of a single button it automatically lowers all the windows as well as the glass and the rear liftgate and opens the sunroof for an open-air driving experience production of the Fisker ocean is scheduled to start on November 17, 2022, exactly one year after its public debut the vehicle will be manufactured in aco2 neutral facility in Grotz Austria by Magnus stair in the future more of them along with other Fisker models could be assembled in Lordstown  activation fee pulling a tesla the automaker is aiming to sell directly to consumers but whether they can get around dealership franchise laws remains to be seen Fisker said he envisions customer ordering their cars from an app or website and taking delivery at home or from a company distribution center he also said dealerships are too expensive and would inevitably increase the price of his vehicles deliveries of the 2023 Fisker ocean are scheduled to start late next year so look for this stylish all-electric SUV on roads around the world
