Fisker Ocean Performance and Financial Struggles

Fisker has been in the news both for the performance of its Ocean Extreme electric vehicle as tested by Bjørn Nyland and for its precarious financial situation In the range test conducted in Norway, the Fisker Ocean Extreme, equipped with a sizable 113-kWh battery (106 kWh usable), demonstrated a solid range At a constant 56 mph (90 km/h), the vehicle achieved an estimated range of 283 miles (455 km). However, when the speed increased to 75 mph (120 km/h), the range dropped by 21%, yielding 222 miles (358 km) Notably, the energy consumption stood at 375 Wh/mile (233 Wh/km) at the lower speed and increased to 476 Wh/mile (296 Wh/km) at the higher speed The all-wheel-drive version with 20-inch wheels achieved an EPA Combined range of 360 miles and weighed in at 5,555 pounds (2,520 kg), which is on the higher end for EVs. The company itself is facing potential bankruptcy, with a possibility of running out of funds in 30 days Despite having produced over 11,000 Fisker Ocean cars, only 6,400 have been delivered worldwide.
