EV brand Fisker cuts prices and warns of limited aftersales support

Fisker has cut the price of its Ocean SUV by up to £14,000, in a bid to shift existing UK stocks.

The car maker has applied reductions to stocked models, with the cheapest example offered for £32,170.

All vehicles are sold on the basis of limited aftersales support.

Fisker states: "Due to the current economic situation of the manufacturer Fisker Group Inc. and the Fisker sales companies in Europe, there is a risk of limited support and limited services for the vehicles. Buyers must expect a permanent loss of the enforceability of claims for material defects and warranty claims.

"By concluding a vehicle purchase contract after April 3, 2024, the buyer of a Fisker Ocean declares that he has been informed accordingly and nevertheless wishes to purchase a Fisker Ocean in view of the risk described."

The company was forced to pause production of the Ocean, in March, for six weeks to control stock levels.

UK sales of the car have been minimal, with less than 200 units registered in 2023.

Fisker was reportedly in talks with Nissan to secure fresh investment, following rumours that it was facing bankruptcy, which have since fallen through.
