If you’re wondering where Fisker makes its vehicles in Europe, the Ocean is reportedly manufactured in Graz, Austria. Fisker chose to build its cars in the Austrian facility in part because the plant is carbon neutral. The European locale was also selected as part of a manufacturing deal Fisker struck with its production partner, Magna-Styer.
The original plan was for Fiskar to produce 42,000 Oceans in the Graz, Austria plant in 2023, but that’s not how it turned out. The actual number of Oceans manufactured was apparently much lower. Despite the ongoing goodwill being sent its way, the news continues to be bad for the ambitious electronic vehicle upstart, with MotorTrend recently reporting that Fisker’s production and sales shortages have left the company on the verge of bankruptcy. The company has also instituted wild price cuts for buying an Ocean too.
Fisker is reportedly searching for a partnership with a major automaker to stay afloat. However, the financial struggles are all the more upsetting as the company announced in August that it was nearing production on three new models for next year, including the Pear “agile city SUV,” the Alaska truck, and the Ronin sports car. Presumably, those vehicles were also palnned for production in the Graz, Austria plant, though Fisker has reportedly been shopping for U.S.-based partners to help produce its Alaska. Alas, it remains uncertain if we’ll ever see any of those Fiskers of the future on the road.
