Choosing the Fisker Ocean for adventures around Phoenix, AZ, can be a smart decision, especially for those who crave an… eco-friendly vehicle that fits seamlessly into an active lifestyle. With its spacious interior and excellent cargo capacity, it’s well-suited for trips to the stunning landscape of the Sonoran Desert or outings to nearby attractions like Sedona or the Grand Canyon. The Ocean's maneuverability makes it capable of handling both city streets and rugged terrain, providing versatility for urban living and outdoor exploration alike.
While the Fisker Ocean has much to commend it, potential owners should consider the vehicle's performance in extreme heat. Phoenix is notorious for its high temperatures, which may affect battery performance and overall efficiency in an electric vehicle. Additionally, charging infrastructure is essential for any electric car owner in this region; if you don’t have easy access to charging options at home or work, it could pose a challenge. For those who prioritize sustainability and outdoor adventure, the Ocean might be an appealing choice, but it's important to weigh these factors based on your lifestyle and needs.

The car is an amazing drive as it is. The hardware is mostly solid and the potential the car has once all features are activated via OTAs is going to be a market changer, in my opinion.
I am trying to be fair but balanced, keeping my bias in check.
As a first time EV owner, there were several things that I had to get educated on before fully understanding some of the 'whats and whys' … (Regen breaking, charging locations, not turning off the car before stepping out of it, Drive & Reverse on a little stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, acceleration....), but now that I am up to speed I truly feel this is the best car I have ever owned, even with its current quirks and EV-specific travel planning requirements.
Some of the negatives:
Still missing key ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, accident prevention, self parking, and basically the features that are tied to Magna's ICON Radar technology that is installed in the car. Once this technology is unleashed (if it works as intended) it will make this car a 7 out of 5 stars! According to Fisker's timetable, this is just a couple of months down the pipeline. Cannot wait!
Electronic air vents. You can't adjust your air vents without using the UI. This may be a "feature" to enhance driver profiles, but it's cumbersome and prone to damage if someone with small enough fingers attempts to adjust them by hand. Adjusting the airflow with a UI is not easy while driving and instructing a passenger to do it is more of a patience and collaboration testing exercise than just a quick adjustment that should be done with a flick of a finger.
Bolted down hood. It's good and bad. It doesn't rattle! No frunk because there are electronics and other things in there like a normal car, but accessing the number one failure item of any car, the 12v battery, is not as easy as driving to a car parts store to test and replace it. It requires specific knowledge and doing anything wrong is a costly mistake, so you are at the mercy of Fisker's service team. I feel like the 12v battery should be made accessible to the owner, as that single item controls EVERYTHING that is user-facing in an EV, and something as simple as a low charge on a lead acid battery will make the car inoperable.
Lastly, it's a computer with wheels! This is true of any EV, and any bug in the software will make the car have tantrums and not cooperate. Soft restarts are required every so often, but credit to Fisker for pushing out updates in what I feel is a timely manner that have vastly improved the car thus far.
The great:
Acceleration and driving performance. Comparing this to a sports car is unfair, because this is an SUV. When you drive it, however, it does not feel like you are driving an SUV at all. It behaves like a sports car, and it is really easy to forget that you are driving a 5000+ lbs heavy vehicle. The drive is amazingly smooth and makes you feel extremely confident and safe with its handling.
0-60 in less that 4 seconds without having to use the Boost Mode is enough speed to forget that Boost Mode is even there. Limited to 500 uses? It's fine. It's a gimmick to use for fun, and knowing that you can push the pedal to the metal in all of the other drive modes without causing the car any damage is perfectly fine for me. It. Will. Pin. You. To. Your. Seat.
And it's acceleration curve is still amazing at 70mph. You will easily reach 100mph and not realize it because the drive is so smooth.
Interior is minimal but feels good to me. No leathers or metals in the cabin. The interior boasts over 100 pounds of recovered and recycled plastics and material, but I don't feel that it cheapens the car, if you understand what you are getting. For those people who like leathers and metal, then it will feel like plastic, because it is. But to me, it feels higher quality than other more common vehicles that start with a T and end with an esla.
The seats look simple and basic at first glance, but they do a good job of contouring to the body and grabbing you in place. They are much more comfortable than they look and the Alcantara material is a breeze to clean.
Overall, this is a great car for the price, exceeding most (if not all) others in terms of driving range and potential features at this price range. I felt the advertising was cheesy when they mention the emotional aspect of this car, but truth be told, I feel it. When I drive it, it's a special vehicle. It is a top performer and quality car, and knowing that it has the least environmental impact of any other EV is something to feel good about as well.
I bought this car on a whim, and have no regrets at all. This has been, by far, the best car I have ever purchased, and even with some of the negative press, I don't doubt for a second that it will push itself into the EV market and become a high quality standard to beat in the near future.
