Fisker reported a surge of over 300% in its electric vehicle deliveries for the last quarter, resulting in the handover of approximately 4,700 vehicles for the entire year.
The substantial increase in quarterly sales was driven by robust demand for the Fisker Ocean One launch edition SUV, which is priced at around $68,999, the company said on Friday.
After homologation delays in both Europe and the US, Fisker ultimately produced 10,142 in 2023. Customer deliveries began in June, with significant deliveries commencing in September and October.
Fisker began deliveries in Canada in December and is now operating in 12 markets worldwide. Right-hand drive vehicles have been delivered in the United Kingdom, and in December the UK saw the delivery of the first Fisker Ocean Sport, the company’s entry-level trim.
In 2023, the Fisker Ocean also won six different European awards in Germany, France, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.
Software updates
Fisker has undertaken two key over-the-air (OTA) software updates in Q4. Version 1.10 was rolled out in November, and Version 1.11 commenced in mid-December. The company expects to complete the Version 1.11 update process for all customers by end of January 2024. Feature upgrades and bug fixes have greatly improved customers satisfaction. In February of 2024 Fisker expects to release Version 2.0 with additional exciting features.
Expanded physical footprint and enhanced customer engagement
The company has opened four flagship Lounges (Los Angeles, New York City, London, Munich) and has multiple delivery and services locations in both the US and Europe to bolster the company’s delivery infrastructure. Fisker is now working with partners to achieve higher delivery throughput and to address an initial lack of real estate to achieve delivery objectives.
The company recently enhanced its Loyalty Program in all markets to award the most enthusiastic customers.
Looking forward to 2024
Fisker is set to unveil a plan in January to enhance sales and deliveries, aiming to align production capacity with the robust demand for the Ocean SUV.
Fisker will increase the number of test-drive events it conducts in the US and Europe, as the company has witnessed higher sales rates after customers experience the Ocean firsthand. Following a test drive, customers have reported that they are impressed with the Ocean’s ride and handling relative to competitive EVs and that they appreciate the vehicles unique features, such as California Mode, Hollywood Mode, Taco Trays, and the Ocean’s exceptionally comfortable seats.
