For The Verge: Henrik Fisker wants to sell you an EV you can actually afford
In a wide-ranging interview, the Fisker Inc. CEO talks about avoiding production hell, making an actually affordable electric car, and why 2023 will be a pivotal year for EVs.
When Henrik Fisker talks about his company’s plans for this year, like possibly sharing the platform for the new Fisker Ocean electric crossover with other automakers or unveiling the Fisker Ronin EV grand tourer, he tends to be circumspect. The design mogul turned EV startup founder seems reluctant to make the bombastic promises that have worked against other new automotive ventures.
But when he is asked about the short-seller report that claimed Fisker Inc.’s finances are largely tied up in a deal with its contract factory, he does not mince words.
“The guy is a simple crook,” Fisker said in a recent interview with The Verge. “You can quote me on that… I was surprised that anybody even printed that stuff.”
