Fisker, who once styled a BMW roadster for James Bond and led Aston Martin’s design studio, was an early design consultant for the vehicle that would eventually become Tesla’s Model S sedan.

The Ocean starts at $37,499 for the base Sport version that goes 250 miles per charge. A top-of-the-range Extreme grade gets at least 350 miles per charge, accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and will set buyers back $68,999. A second Fisker model, the PEAR, is to be built in a partnership with Foxconn in Lordstown, Ohio, starting in 2024.
