Fisker Inc. is currently completing its affordable, all electric production-intent SUV prototype. The all-electric SUV, to be unveiled at the end of this year, will have approximately a 275-300 mile electric range, incorporate recycled plastic from ocean debris, vegan leather, a solar roof in its top model spec and will recycle waste generated during tire manufacturing – which typically gets sent to land fills – for various interior applications.
For Fisker Inc., it’s not merely about the initial profit but a long-term goal of a creating a consumer platform that brings desirable, affordable and sustainable mobility solutions to the mass market. To enable a wider consumer base to drive its premium electric vehicles, Fisker is working on a revolutionary direct-to-consumer smart platform, which may not include sales of its vehicles. Fisker Inc.’s affordable, direct to consumer e-mobility platform will be announced later this year, breaking new barriers of entry to affordable, clean mobility without onerous long term contracts or expensive upkeep.

I’m delighted to embark on a journey to deliver more beautiful vehicles for a more beautiful world.”
