Fisker Automotive Introduces Its First Electric Vehicle

A senior executive with 15 years of experience in venture capital and private equity, Kevin Graetz is a technology investor and consultant. Kevin Graetz has raised over $1 billion in funds to invest in technology companies, one of which is Fisker Automotive.

Earlier this year, automobile producer Fisker Automotive introduced its first mass-market electric vehicle, called Fisker Ocean. According to Fisker, the Ocean will be the “world’s most sustainable vehicle.” The company’s teaser said the Ocean can cover from 250 to 300 miles per charge. It also said that a performance version of the Ocean is capable of going from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds. Its base version will be powered by an 80 kWh battery pack.

The Ocean will feature a solar roof, a key feature that will break SUV conventions. Its profile will be similar to the Volvo XC40, and its nose will resemble that of a Land Rover. Its interiors will use “100 percent polycarbonate polyurethane surfaces and 100 percent reinforced rayon backing.” Some interior parts will utilize recycled plastic bottles, repurposed rubber waste, and polyester fiber. Its carpet will be made from “abandoned fishing nets.”

Fisker also added that the Ocean will feature a “karaoke mode,” which will roll out software such as Netflix, Spotify and Youtube, and the “California mode,” where the windows will roll down with one touch of a button.

Ocean’s price will start at $37,500, and will be available by late 2021 or early 2022.
