Big loss
Fisker is showing itself to be ambitious with a brand new model range, but for now the money is flying out the door very quickly. So hard that Fisker is taking strong measures.
Fisker hopes to grab a solid slice of the EV pie with striking electric cars, with quite attractive specifications and prices on paper. This will start with the Fisker Ocean, but perhaps even more interesting because of its pricing is the Fisker Pear. Then you have the more exclusive ‘super convertible’ Fisker Ronin and (which is perhaps less interesting here) the Fisker Alaska pick-up. All striking EVs that are quite promising, but Fisker’s coffers have little in the way of promises. It turns out to be very empty. Fisker records a net loss of €428 million for the last quarter of 2023.
Fisker has to tighten its belt to such an extent that it is forced to cut 15 percent of its workforce. A serious downsizing and it doesn’t stop there. According to Autonews Fisker hopes to find a lifeline with a more established automaker. According to that medium, CEO Henrik Fisker says that discussions are already taking place about a strategic collaboration. If it does not raise enough money, further job losses cannot be ruled out. “2023 was a challenging year for Fisker,” the CEO said. He attributes this in part to disruptions in the supply of parts, which delayed the production of the Ocean. Furthermore, Fisker sees that the EV market has become somewhat more fickle.
