Fisker Unveils Four Future EVs Including Sporty Pickup, Cheap Hatchback

Published on August 4, 2023 in New Models by Guillaume Rivard

New EV manufacturer Fisker’s only model, the Ocean crossover, has yet to reach its first Canadian customers, who are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to make the most of its 579 km maximum range.

Anyway, during a special product event in Huntington Beach last night, Fisker unveiled four future EV models that are set to launch by 2026.

We’ll start with the Alaska, hailed as “the Ferrari of pickups” and the most lightweight electric truck on the planet. Beyond its exotic paintwork, highlights include a low-slung and sporty silhouette combined with sharp-looking headlights and taillights.

The cargo bed is just 4.5 feet long, but similar to the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV’s Multi-Flex Midgate, a so-called “Houdini bed divider” can be removed to create 9.2 feet of space. It also slides back if desired.

Range is estimated somewhere between 370-550 km, so roughly on par with the Ford F-150 Lightning. Deliveries of the Alaska should begin in 2025.

Fisker’s long anticipated and delayed PEAR (Personnal Electric Automotive Revolution) is also scheduled for a 2025 launch. An entry-level model, this boxy hatchback will start at just $29,900 USD, or about $40,000 CAD.

Why so inexpensive? Well, the PEAR is said to use 35 percent fewer parts than a comparable electric car. The interior can still accommodate up to six people across two rows, while the rear hatch automatically disappears under the cargo floor—once again like Houdini.

Performance and luxury enthusiasts, meanwhile, will love the Fisker Ronin, a five-seat, four-door GT convertible to be produced in very limited numbers. The retractable top and butterfly doors are all made of carbon fibre, at least on the concept revealed last night. Will they remain on the production model? We’ll see.

Fisker claims a range of nearly 1,000 km and output of more than 1,000 horsepower thanks to a trio of high-capacity electric motors. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h should be achieved in under two seconds. Sounds like the future Roadster that Tesla still hasn’t launched, doesn’t it?

Finally, Fisker announced the Ocean Force E Off-Road Package. For those who want to take their EV away from the pavement, it comes with 33-inch tires on 20-inch wheels, increased ground clearance, upgraded dampers, as well as front, rear and underbody skid plates, not to mention a practical roof basket for overlanding.

The Force E Off-Road Package is expected to be available in the first quarter of next year.

In the longer term, Fisker intends to produce the world's first climate-neutral vehicle by 2027 and redefine mobility through software-based innovations. Bold plans, indeed.
