Just a couple of hours ago, the carmaker officially released the full details of the model during a press release.

As the carmaker states on the press release, the Fisker Ocean is “the world`s most sustainable vehicle| to make world debut at Consumer Electronics Show, and is regarded “as the world`s first all-digital car compay” that “created real excitement in every corner of the globe.”

First off, the Fisker Ocean stands out from the crowd with a huge body – it measures 182.7 inches long and has enough room inside for two rows of seats and 20 cubic feet of cargo space at the back; this can be expanded to 45 cubic feet with the rear sets folded.

Next is the full-length solar roof at the exterior, which according to Fisker, offers 1,000 sun-charged miles of driving throughout the whole year. Other stand-out features refer to massive 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, or 22-inch rims as optional.

Second, Fisker`s Ocean benefits from the best technological gadgets and gizmos, starting with the massive 16-inch center touch screen, while the driver enjoys a 9.8-inch screen in the cluster. There is also an integrated heads-up display for the driver which monitors the car`s different parameters. The cabin is also surrounded by sustainable and recycled materials.

Last but not least, the power of the Fisker Ocean is absolutely amazing, given the full-electric system and the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 2.9 seconds. At least, this is what Fisker previously declared, without mentioning the output of the electric motors. And this info is still unavailable for the moment. What we also know is that the electric motors are sustained by an 80kWh battery which can run up to 300 miles on a single charge.

Once available on the market in 2021, the Fisker Ocean will have a starting price of just $37,499, which is pretty amazing and will definitely win a lot of hearts. Until full details emerge later on, don’t forget to read the press release of the Fisker Ocean below!
