Fisker Ocean available to lease from Octopus EV

Octopus Electric Vehicles has agreed a deal with Fisker to become one of the first lease providers in the UK to offer the new Fisker Ocean SUV. 

The agreement, which covers an initial fleet of 200 Fisker vehicles, marks the start of a long-term partnership between Octopus and Fisker, it said.

Octopus will make the SUV accessible to all its customers, offering the new electric vehicle (EV) on salary sacrifice, business contract hire and personal leasing. 

Oliver Boots, chief commercial officer at Octopus Electric Vehicles, said: “The US has a long, proud automotive history and so it’s fantastic to see new entrants joining the electric revolution from across the pond.

“Each new manufacturer and model of electric cars gives drivers more choice, helps drive down costs and gets us closer to making the switch to having fully electric roads.

“We’ve seen a wonderful response to the Fisker Ocean in test driving, and we’re thrilled to be able to unlock savings for drivers through salary sacrifice.”

The all-electric Fisker Ocean Extreme, which has a range of up to 440 miles, is the first model launched by Fisker in the UK as it sets its eyes on international expansion. 

Fisker chairman and CEO, Henrik Fisker, said: “We are excited to announce this lease collaboration in the UK market to enable more customers to have access to our fully electric Ocean.

“I am looking forward to seeing more and more UK customers using the leasing opportunity to experience the Ocean’s unique design including sustainable materials, best-in-class range and innovative technical features such as SolarSky, California mode and a large touchscreen that can also be in horizontal Hollywood mode.”

The Fisker Ocean Extreme is the latest EV model to be offered by Octopus EV, which now has more than 80 cars available to customers, covering every model available in the UK.
