Electric-vehicle (EV) startup Fisker is making significant strides in its expansion plans, as the company prepares to open its inaugural delivery center in Shanghai, China’s prominent financial hub, later this year. Fisker’s China board member, Daniel Foa, revealed this exciting development in an interview with Chinese media outlet Yicai on Tuesday.
Furthermore, Fisker is gearing up to introduce its highly anticipated mass-produced SUV model, the Fisker Ocean, to the market. According to Yicai’s report, deliveries of the Ocean SUV are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2024.
Fisker executives recently visited Shanghai with the intention of exploring collaborative opportunities. The fruitful discussions resulted in the decision to establish a delivery center in the city, which will facilitate a streamlined distribution process for Fisker’s vehicles. Additionally, the company plans to leverage this strategic location to kickstart the deliveries of their cutting-edge Ocean SUV in the coming year.
China, known for its affinity toward high-quality international automotive brands, has witnessed a notable surge in the adoption of electric vehicles. This transformation has been propelled by a combination of government policies and evolving consumer preferences. In this context, Fisker, along with other EV-only international companies, has emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional automotive brands. By offering a more feature-rich product, Fisker has successfully positioned itself as a strong contender in consumers’ purchasing decisions.
The establishment of Fisker’s delivery center in Shanghai marks a significant milestone for the company’s expansion efforts, while the impending release of the Fisker Ocean SUV in 2024 is expected to further solidify its position in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
