Fisker announced earlier this month that it plans to deliver 300 Ocean models a day later this year.

At present, there is only one model under the Fisker brand, the Ocean. The car made its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2021 with a price range of $37,499,68,999 (currently about 27.4-504000 yuan) in the US market.

This year, a number of new Fisker cars have been unveiled, including pickups, supercars and other models, which are expected to be put into production from 2024 to 2025.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Fisker Fisk founder, chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker (Henrik Fisk) led a senior team to China in June this year, and visited Shanghai Lingang Group. Daniel Foa, a member of the Chinese board of directors of the Fisker brand, told China Business News that the brand's first delivery center is expected to open in Shanghai.

Daniel said the first delivery center will be opened this year, and the first production model, the pure electric SUV Fisker Ocean, will be delivered in the first quarter of 2024. However, when asked what channel model will be adopted at that time, Daniel responded as follows: "Fisker uses the direct sales model in Europe and the United States, but the sales model in the Chinese market is temporarily inconvenient to comment."

According to reports, Fisker's choice to enter the Chinese market is based on three aspects: first, there is a large space in China's electric vehicle market; second, the Chinese automobile market has a trend of high-end and light luxury models growing faster than ordinary models; third, Chinese users have a high acceptance of traditional international car brands, and government policies and consumer behavior are rapidly turning to electrification.
