The 2025 Fisker Ocean is here to shake up the electric SUV game with sustainable swagger, a funky design, and a price tag that doesn’t require a Silicon Valley salary. But does this eco-friendly underdog deliver where it counts? We took it for a spin to find out.
What’s New for 2025?
Fisker’s been busy tweaking its debut EV, and the 2025 Ocean gets some key upgrades:
✔ More range – Up to 360 miles (EPA est.) in the top Extreme trim.
✔ Faster charging – Now compatible with 350kW DC fast chargers (10%-80% in ~33 mins).
✔ New software features – Including “California Mode” (lowers all windows + opens solar roof for open-air vibes).
The styling? Still futuristic but friendly—think Tesla meets a hiking backpack, with a vegan interior and recycled materials everywhere.
Interior: Minimalist, But Not Boring
Step inside, and the Ocean feels more IKEA showroom than luxury SUV—but in a good way. Highlights:
✅ 17.1-inch rotating touchscreen (turns portrait for movies, landscape for maps).
✅ Solar roof – Adds up to 1,500 free miles per year (if you live somewhere sunny).
✅ Vegan “Fisker Relaxation” seats – Surprisingly comfy, and 100% leather-free.
The Quirks:
⚠ No glovebox – Storage is weirdly limited (blame the “minimalist” design).
⚠ Some cheap plastics – Not every surface feels premium.
How Does It Drive? (Spoiler: Surprisingly Playful)
Performance:
- Single-motor (Sport trim): 275 HP, 0-60 in 6.9 sec – Fine for daily driving.
- Dual-motor (Ultra/Extreme): 540 HP, 0-60 in 3.9 sec – Now we’re talking.
Handling is light and nimble—way more fun than a Tesla Model Y. The low center of gravity (thanks to the battery pack) keeps it planted, and the regenerative braking is strong enough for one-pedal driving.
Pricing: Shockingly Affordable (For an EV)
- Sport: $38,990 (after $7,500 tax credit) – Basically Tesla Model Y money.
- Ultra: $52,999 – The sweet spot for range + features.
- Extreme: $61,499 – For speed demons who want it all. Competitors:
- Tesla Model Y – More tech, but way more common.
- Volvo EX30 – Cheaper, but smaller.
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 – Similar vibe, less quirky. Final Verdict: The Most Fun EV Under $40K?
The 2025 Fisker Ocean isn’t perfect—software glitches and questionable build quality are still risks—but it’s fresh, fun, and full of personality. If you’re tired of Tesla’s dominance and want an EV that stands out, this might be your ride.
Buy it if: You want an eco-friendly SUV with character that won’t bankrupt you.
Skip it if: You need flawless tech or a luxury interior.
Rating: 8/10 – A few rough edges, but a seriously cool EV.
