Fisker is worried moment of great economic difficulty and there is a risk that the company may disrupt its operations. Car company stopped the development of Pear and temporarily stopped production of the Ocean electric SUV. Fisker was also in talks with a major automaker reportedly willing to invest in the American company to jointly develop electric vehicle platforms. Although the name was not mentioned, it was said that “major car manufacturer“It was a Nissan.
In any case, the negotiations did not end positively. Fisker is now scrambling to find liquidity and funding to move forward.
Therefore, the automaker is evaluating all possible ways to stay afloat. For this reason he decided apply radical price reductions to its electric Ocean SUV (2023 model year). A way to get rid of a large number of already produced cars and gain liquidity.
In a press release, the company talks about a strategic repositioning to offer electric mobility to everyone. In fact, it seems quite clear that this is an attempt to raise money.
Really important price reduction considering that in some cases yes. almost 40%. First level Ocean sports, which was previously offered at $38,999, is now available for $24,999, equating to a savings of up to $14,000. About the model Ocean Ultra the savings are even greater when you consider the reduction is as much as $18,000. The price increased from $52,999 to $34,999. For maximum configuration Ocean extreme it rose from $61,499 to $37,499, a decrease of $24,000.
All vehicles offered for sale, albeit for the 2023 model year, will come with version 2.0 of Fisker’s Ocean OS software. Additionally, some examples have additional features totaling up to $7,000. The new price lists will actually come into effect tomorrow, March 29th.
The price action is still very interesting, but given the delicate situation the company finds itself in, a possible acquisition could pose a risk if Fisker fails and goes out of business within the next few weeks or months.
