WHY THE FISKER OCEAN ANNOYED ME!

EV Channels Review

The Fisker Ocean presents a compelling, design-led package with several innovative features, but it's marred by significant usability annoyances and a somewhat unrefined driving experience. While the exterior design is praised for its style and the interior boasts soft-touch materials and a large infotainment screen, the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a major drawback. The reviewer highlights the overly sensitive driver safety systems, the inconvenient operation of the deployable tow hitch, and the impracticality of the rear camera due to dirt accumulation. Positives include the solar roof offering a small range boost, the versatile 'California Mode', impressive power output (564hp in boost mode), and the utility of the 3000W power outlet. However, the steering lacks feel, the suspension can feel unsettled, and the braking system's initial regen is grabby. Despite these issues, the reviewer suggests considering the Fisker Ocean, acknowledging its strengths in design and features, but notes that better EVs exist in the segment.
