I GOT A FREE FISKER OCEAN AND FIXED IT WITH A $20 KEY

EV Channels Review

Rich Rebuilds successfully resurrected a 'free' Fisker Ocean that was written off by insurance, transforming it from a $70,000 paperweight into a functional vehicle within 72 hours. The project involved significant DIY repairs, including fixing a severely damaged hood for minimal cost, repairing the charging port, and replacing recalled door handles with an upgraded version. A key challenge was programming a new key fob, which was ultimately achieved using a laptop and provided software, allowing the car to start and drive. The reviewer highlights the Fisker Ocean's surprisingly good driving dynamics and accurate range prediction, even comparing it favorably to some Tesla models in terms of real-world range. Despite initial skepticism and the car's troubled brand history, the Fisker Ocean proved to be a capable, albeit unconventional, EV. The vehicle was then given a 'rally' inspired wrap, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
