Fisker (FSR) soars as Ocean SUV deliveries begin in U.S.

Shares of American automotive startup, Fisker (NYSE: FSR) are up 4.39% in pre-market trading on Friday after it was announced that the California-based electric automaker began deliveries of the first Ocean SUVs to U.S. customers.

“We have been waiting for this moment ever since we started the development of the Fisker Ocean in October 2020,” Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said. “As a California-based company, we are thrilled that our first US customers are finally getting behind the wheel of the Fisker Ocean and will experience its innovative features, class-leading 360-mile range, and highest levels of sustainability. We’re grateful our customers have been patient with us as we dealt with a longer-than-expected certification period earlier this year, and we’re happy their patience is now starting to be rewarded.”

At 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time, Fisker is set to begin delivering 22 vehicles at a company facility in the Los Angeles area. This facility will serve as a space where product specialists can introduce customers to their Fisker Ocean One launch edition SUVs.

This initial group of vehicles was shipped to the US from Austria on an expedited basis. Additional deliveries will continue through the summer.

The Fisker Ocean One is a launch edition model of the $68,9992 Fisker Ocean Extreme, with a 113 kWh battery pack (106 kWh usable) and an EPA range of 360 miles, the longest range of any new electric SUV in its class.

The company has already delivered vehicles in Europe, following a unique dual-market certification strategy as it launched simultaneously in Europe and the US.

The all-electric SUV starts at $37,4992 for the Fisker Ocean Sport trim level in the US.
