Fisker Is Swimming in Reservations for Its Ocean SUV
The tide of enthusiasm for Fisker's yet-to-be-built Ocean SUV is rising. On Thursday, the start-up electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, which plans to go public by merging with Spartan Energy Acquisition (NYSE: SPAQ), announced that more customers made reservations for the vehicles in July than in any month since January, when the Ocean was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show.
In total, the company has accepted reservations and deposits for 7,062 Ocean SUVs from customers in more than 30 countries. Citing interest generated on its Fisker Flexee app from 30,277 potential customers, the company said it believes that it's far from reaching the high-water mark of interest.
According to Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisher, enthusiasm for the vehicle is exceeding expectations. "We had aimed to have 5,000 reservations by the end of July, so it is really encouraging to see this level of global interest in the Fisker Ocean," he said. "Not only have we seen an acceleration in the rate of reservations but also a continued rise in the number of people registering with us for more information."
