Fisker, the American EV start-up, has officially announced the development of a high-performance variant of its electric hatchback, the Fisker Pear. This version, known as the Pear Extreme, is expected to deliver impressive performance due to its dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain.
Although specific performance targets have not been confirmed by Fisker, it is highly anticipated that the Pear Extreme will significantly improve on the regular Pear’s claimed 0-60mph sprint time of 6.3 seconds.
For comparison, Fisker’s larger SUV model, the Fisker Ocean Extreme, features a total power output of 564bhp and 544lb ft, thanks to a 275bhp motor on each axle. This allows the 2434kg SUV to accelerate from 0-60mph in an impressive 4.0 seconds.
Industry experts at Autocar believe that the Pear Extreme will be positioned as a direct competitor to the £36,495 MG 4 XPower. The MG model is equipped with a dual-motor powertrain capable of delivering 429bhp, enabling it to sprint from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds. This makes it faster than the entry-level Porsche Taycan and on par with the Taycan GTS.
The Pear Extreme is also expected to feature a larger battery than the regular Pear, which currently offers a claimed range of 348 miles. However, the increased power and performance of the high-performance model may result in a reduced range compared to the standard variant.
Additionally, high-end versions of the Pear will include a solar-panelled roof, similar to the Fisker Ocean, enabling passive charging to extend the range. On the other hand, the cheapest variant of the Pear will come with a smaller battery pack, offering a claimed range of 198 miles.
Fisker predicts that the entry-level variant, a rear-wheel-drive model, will be the most popular option. It will be priced from $29,900 in the US (before incentives), approximately £23,500. However, the UK price is expected to be slightly higher due to local taxes and shipping costs from the factory in Ohio, US, operated by Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn.
Fisker Inc founder, Henrik Fisker, believes that in the next two years, people will realize that they do not necessarily need long-range capabilities, especially if they have a second car. He cites the slow sales of cars with 100- to 150-mile ranges as proof of this changing mindset.
Fisker has revealed more information and photos of the Pear, its upcoming entry-level model, following the preview of its future lineup on August 3.
The company has also announced that a production-intent Fisker Pear will be displayed to the public at the Fisker Lounge Munich from September 4-10, coinciding with the IAA Mobility 2023 event in Munich.
Priced at $29,900 (before incentives), the Pear is a crossover with seating for five or six people. It has a length of 179.1 inches (4,550 millimeters), making it smaller than the Fisker Ocean SUV but still spacious in its segment. The five-seat version can be converted into a six-seater by replacing the single front passenger seat and center console with a large two-seat bench.
One of the notable features is its Houdini trunk, which allows owners to load and unload in tight street parking situations and prevent damage in parking structures with low ceilings. The trunk lid and glass move down behind the rear bumper beam, providing protection in the event of a rear crash. Fisker has mentioned that the Houdini trunk demonstrated at low speed on August 3 will operate at high speed in the production version.
The Fisker Ronin EV sets a new benchmark for all-electric vehicles with its unmatched range of 600 miles, 1,000 horsepower, and impressive acceleration speed.
Fisker is committed to sustainable design, using eco-friendly materials and conducting Life Cycle Assessments to reduce carbon emissions and aim for a climate-neutral vehicle by 2027.
In comparison to its competitors, the Fisker Ronin EV stands out with its superior performance, including range, acceleration, and horsepower, making it the archetype for all-electric sportscars.
The Fisker Ronin EV is set to hit the market in 2026, and with it will come a new benchmark for all-electric vehicles. Pushing the limits of electric innovation, the Fisker Ronin EV is bounds ahead of the competition with an unprecedented 600 miles of range strengthened by 1,000 horsepower capabilities, a 170 MPH top speed, and a 0-60 MPH acceleration rate of a mere two seconds.
Touted as the world’s first all-electric four-door GT sportscar with a convertible design, the newest Fisker is the epitome of what a GT should be: made for long distances but with the speed for a Hot Lap. With a range to take drivers the mile and sustainably sourced design, the EV’s slogan “Thrills Beyond Speed,” has a lot to offer.
While specific details about battery capacity and charging time have yet to be announced, all Fisker EVs are compatible with public charging stations, and the company recognizes over 600,000 active and roaming stations. The Fisker Ocean, a compact all-electric SUV, promises drivers enough power to travel from San Jose to L.A. or from Boston to Philly without range anxiety. Road tripping is made easy with an EV that can cross state lines.
The 2023 Lucid Air is the closest competitor, with 516 miles of range. However, the Fisker Ronin EV still outperforms it with a range potential of 600 miles. The newest Lucid Air release in 2024 has even less range, with only 427 miles. The Lucid Air prioritizes speed over range, with 1,234 horsepower and a less than two-second 0-60 acceleration rate.
Fisker
The Fisker Ronin EV doesn’t compromise on performance. It matches the 2024 Lucid Air’s need for speed with 1,000 horsepower and a 0-60 MPH acceleration speed of two seconds. The EV features three electric motors for all-wheel drive and a sturdy base for any driving conditions. With its racecar-like aerodynamics, carbon structure, and 23-inch carbon fiber wheels, the Fisker Ronin EV is not only fast but also fuel-efficient. While carbon fiber reduces fuel usage due to its lightweight and strong characteristics, it can also be expensive and difficult to repurpose. The Ronin EV is sure to make an impact with its acceleration speed and high-performing architecture on the track.
Fisker is not only pushing the industry standard, but its own as well. The Fisker Ocean EV, an all-wheel drive dual motor SUV, boasts a 360-mile range and a 0-60 MPH acceleration of under four seconds. It also features a PowerBank, a mobile emergency battery that can power a household for seven days. Fisker aims to make its vehicles adapt to a changing climate by incorporating sustainability in every aspect of the design process, including disaster response capabilities.
The Fisker Ronin Is The New Benchmark of Sustainable Design
Fisker
The Fisker Ronin goes beyond fuel efficiency with its commitment to sustainable design. The brand is known for using eco-friendly materials and conducting Life Cycle Assessments to reduce carbon emissions. Fisker aims to become the most sustainable all-electric car manufacturer. Details about the Ronin’s material sourcing and carbon-conscious structural elements are still undisclosed. However, the company has promised the inclusion of “eco-friendly materials” in the interior, which will feature seats for five people and a 17.1-inch digital display screen. The car design mockups include winged doors and a flat-bottom racing steering wheel.
Fisker has conducted a Life Cycle Assessment to measure the carbon footprint of its previous vehicles. The assessment found that driving a Fisker Ocean instead of a gas-powered car saved enough carbon to match the amount stored by 39 acres of forests across the United States. With its high standards for fuel efficiency and eco-design, Fisker aims to introduce a climate-neutral vehicle by 2027.
The Fisker Ronin EV comes with a higher price tag compared to other EV GTs on the market. However, it outshines its competitors in terms of range, speed, acceleration, and motor setup. Additionally, it is a limited edition vehicle, with only 999 units being produced.
The closest competitor to the Fisker Ronin EV is the Lucid Air, which offers similar acceleration and horsepower. However, other electric sports cars in the same category fall short in terms of horsepower, acceleration, and range compared to the Fisker Ronin EV. The Polestar 6, which is set to debut in the same year as the Ronin EV, has half the range and over a hundred fewer miles of driving range. Similarly, the 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Electric takes three more seconds to reach 60 MPH and has less than half the horsepower and range.

Although the Fisker Ronin EV is not set to hit production until late 2025, leaving room for advancements in technology, range, and speed from rival brands, the competition remains limited. As new all-electric vehicles enter the market over the next few years, the Fisker Ronin EV has positioned itself as the archetype for all-electric sportscars.
Fisker recently revealed the Alaska electric truck, providing more information and images of the vehicle. This unveiling took place at the Fisker Product Vision Day event, where the Pear electric hatchback and Ronin super GT made their debut. The Alaska will be based on the FM31 modified Ocean platform and is expected to have a maximum range of 340 miles. Production in the US is set to begin in the first quarter of 2025.
During the event, Fisker CEO Henrik Fisker emphasized that the Alaska would be the lightest electric truck on the market and touted it as the world’s most sustainable option. The interior of the Alaska, like the Ocean, will feature vegan materials that are ethically sourced for the upholstery, carpet, and interior panels.
One of the standout features of the Alaska is its Houdini trunk, similar to the Pear. This mid-gate can be electronically rolled down and hidden under the floor, allowing the bed length to extend from 4.5 feet to 9.2 feet when combined with the flat-folding rear seats.
The Alaska also offers unique features like a “big gulp cupholder” and a cowboy hat holder, which is a roof-mounted strap. Additionally, there is a retractable tablet holder for the co-driver.
The Alaska will be available with two battery options: 75.0 and 113.0 kilowatt hours. The estimated range for the smaller battery is 230 miles, while the larger battery is projected to deliver up to 340 miles. It’s important to note that these estimates may change. The range-topping version of the Ocean, known as the Ocean Extreme, has a maximum WLTP range of 440 miles, although specific powertrain details are still pending confirmation.
Based on the information released, it is expected that the Alaska will have comparable figures to the Ocean Extreme in terms of power. Fisker stated that the truck will have an acceleration time ranging from 0-60 miles per hour between 3.9 and 7.2 seconds, depending on the variant and configuration.
While Fisker confirmed that the Alaska will be manufactured in the US, the exact location and potential partners have not been disclosed yet. The company stated that these details are still being finalized.
In terms of size, the Alaska will fit between the compact and mid-size truck segments. Fisker has estimated a starting price of $45,400 before incentives. Reservations for the Alaska are currently open, with a deposit of $250.
Compared to other electric trucks on the market, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, GMC Hummer EV, and upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV, the Alaska offers a more affordable price point. It may also directly compete with future electric truck models from Ford, General Motors, and Rivian, which are expected to have improved ranges and cost-effectiveness.
During the Product Vision Day event, Fisker also revealed other vehicles and technologies, including the Pear small electric hatchback, Ronin electric grand tourer, the Force E adventure package for the Ocean, and a new supercomputer. The Pear will be manufactured in the US at Foxconn’s Lordstown Motors plant in Ohio, pending finalization of the deal.
Fisker, the maker of the Ocean all-electric SUV, has revealed more information and photos of its flagship model, the Ronin. The California-based EV startup describes the Ronin as a Super GT convertible.
Last week, during Fisker’s Product Vision Day 2023 event, the company unveiled the Ronin alongside the Alaska pickup and affordable Pear models. The Ronin will feature an integrated battery pack that allows for a range of 600 miles on a full charge and can seat five people.
When the folding hardtop of the Ronin is raised, the vehicle functions as a sports sedan. It offers a 2-in-1 experience, similar to the discontinued Mercedes-Benz S-Class convertible, but with a carbon fiber roof and two extra doors instead of a cloth roof.
Fisker is now accepting reservations for its upcoming all-electric supercar, the Fisker Ronin. This sleek convertible grand tourer is expected to be available in the second half of 2025 and boasts impressive features such as a range of 600 miles and over 1000bhp. The starting price for the Ronin is set at $385,000 in the US, equivalent to approximately £310,000, and only 999 units will be produced.
The Fisker Ronin made its debut at the company’s inaugural Product Vision event in California. With its four doors and five seats, this vehicle is aimed at those who desire cutting-edge electric technology. Henrik Fisker, the company’s CEO, describes the Ronin as “the ultimate long-distance grand touring car.”
Fisker also revealed that the Ronin will feature a triple-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration with a target power output exceeding 1000bhp and an impressive 0-62mph acceleration time of 2.0 seconds. The car will also incorporate active aerodynamics, although specific details have yet to be confirmed.
In terms of design, the Fisker Ronin shares similarities with other high-performance electric saloons like the Porsche Taycan and Mercedes-AMG EQS 53. Additionally, it will have visual connections to the Fisker Ocean SUV, which recently entered production in Austria.
The Fisker Ronin is expected to achieve a remarkable 600-mile range, setting a new record for production electric vehicles. This feat is made possible by an innovative method of drawing power from the integrated battery pack, the details of which have not been disclosed.
In a departure from the norm, the Ronin features a carbon fiber hardtop convertible roof instead of traditional cloth. It also boasts distinctive butterfly doors and 23-inch carbon fiber wheels. The interior showcases a luxurious and high-tech design, including a 17.1-inch high-resolution screen and several sustainable materials.
The Fisker Ronin, an electric car, is set to be released in 2025. It boasts a range of over 600 miles and close to 1000bhp power output, making it the world’s first convertible grand tourer.
During the Fisker Product Vision event in California, Henrik Fisker, the boss of Fisker, described the ultra-limited Ronin as “the EV for somebody who craves what’s next”. He believes it is in a category of its own and labeled it as “the ultimate long-distance grand touring car”.
Fisker aims to redefine the supercar of the future by creating a different driving experience and a new type of luxury. Visually, the Ronin shares similarities with sporting EV saloons like the Porsche Taycan and Mercedes-AMG EQS 53. It will also have visual connections to the Fisker Ocean SUV, which is currently in production in Austria.
The Ronin will be equipped with a triple-motor, all-wheel-drive system, targeting a power output just under 1000bhp and a 0-62mph time of 2.0 seconds. The company also plans to incorporate active aerodynamics, although specific details have not been confirmed.
Fisker envisions a targeted 600-mile range for the Ronin, which would set a new record for range in a production electric vehicle. This impressive range is made possible by a unique method of drawing power from a battery pack integrated into the chassis. However, the size of the battery pack has not been disclosed.
In terms of design, the Ronin breaks away from the traditional supercar trend. Instead of a cloth roof, it features a carbon-fiber hardtop for the convertible roof. The car is also equipped with four butterfly doors and promises to deliver a high-tech luxury interior.
Overall, Fisker aims to offer an exceptional driving experience with the Ronin, where the focus is on enjoying the journey rather than worrying about frequent stops for charging.

Fisker Inc. is an auto manufacturer led by CEO Henrik Fisker that aims to create sustainable electric vehicles and has a track record of iconic car designs and pioneering EV development.
The upcoming Fisker Ocean is an SUV that embodies the company’s values of innovation, affordability, sustainability, and beautiful craftsmanship, incorporating features like a solar roof and upcycled sustainable materials.
Fisker’s future plans include the PEAR crossover, a mobility device targeting global citizens and young urban innovators, and Project Ronin, a concept for the world’s first all-electric four-door convertible GT sports car. The company also aims to create a 100% climate-neutral vehicle by 2027.
Fisker Inc., incepted in 2016, is an auto manufacturer specializing in Electric Vehicles (EV). Co-founded by Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker, who is Danish by birth and American by nationality, Fisker is a company with a very specific vision and mission. As the world’s first digital car company, it seeks to “create a clean future for all”, “by making the world’s most sustainable vehicles”. This of course is easier said than done, but perhaps a man like Mr. Fisker is the one to lead the charge. He’s known for creating iconic cars, as well as pioneering EV development, with a passionate eye for technology and futuristic design. He’ll take risks and challenge protocols, in an effort to be an innovator, ceaselessly striving towards making a dream into reality.
Celebrated as an iconic figure within the automotive industry, Mr. Fisker led the development of the BMW Z8 sports car, which was driven by the character of James Bond in 1999’s The World Is Not Enough. The Z8 Roadster then took the globe by storm, as Mr. Fisker was the President and CEO of BMW Designworks USA. By the year 2000 in the Z8, we’re talking about a car that had the same potent drivetrain as the M5, but was 500 pounds lighter, and had the acceleration of the Chevrolet Corvette.
One can guess that the performance of this car is without question not a surprise, given the healthy V-8 engine output, coupled with the car’s light weight. With the top down while rowing gears using the six-speed manual, you can bet this was as fun of a car as it was stylish. Despite the staggering price tag, there were only 400 examples earmarked for the United States, and all were spoken for, invoking the notion of an instant classic. Indeed, this roadster has the performance to match:
0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds
120 mph in 15.1 seconds
1/4 mile in 13 seconds @ 111 mph
Top Speed governed at 155 mph
Braking from 70 mph in 165 feet
0.90 g’s of lateral movement
In addition to his BMW work, Mr. Fisker had a stint with Aston Martin as a board member and design director. This resulted in the manufacturer’s turnaround, and the DB9/V8 Vantage became the most-sold Aston Martin ever, even to this day. Ultimately this led to the Fisker Karma, the world’s first luxury plug-in hybrid, launched in 2011. The Karma featured a full-length solar roof, adjustable regenerative braking, and a vegan interior. This was five years before Fisker Inc. came about, which is actually Mr. Fisker’s second automotive company.
It appears Mr. Fisker has the ability to look into the future and see what others do not. Today at Fisker Inc., this starts with the zero emissions Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) known as the Ocean. This vehicle falls in line with everything that Fisker and the company stand for: innovation, affordability, ingenious engineering, sustainability, and beautiful craftsmanship. The Fisker method is to use less, use better, and use again. This has been accomplished in several ways with the Ocean, by creating a solar roof, sourcing from responsible suppliers, and using upcycled sustainable materials.

The Ocean will have five trims: Sport; Ultra; Force E; Extreme; and the limited-edition One, with an estimated price range between $37,499-$68,999. The range will be between 250–360 miles, using as large as a 113 kWh battery pack. The available roof-mounted solar panels, called SolarSky, could supply up to 2,000 miles of range per year under ideal conditions. An interesting claim for sure, but one that has yet to be seen. Only the entry-level Sport has a single motor powering the front wheels, with a total output of 275 horsepower, expected to go from zero to sixty mph in 6.9 seconds. The latter trims have a motor on each axle, for a combined 550 horses and all-wheel-drive (AWD), propelling the EV SUV from zero to sixty in just 3.6 seconds. Front-drive models are rated to tow 2,040 pounds, while those with AWD can pull 4,000. The Force E is set to join the lineup later, an off-road version sporting 33-inch tires.

The driver-centric all-electric Ocean SUV will make use of technology such as an enormous 17.1-inch touchscreen that will rotate from landscape to portrait, unlike in Teslas, depending on driving conditions. It will also feature a Harmon Kardon stereo, of which every model will have along with the infotainment screen, except for the base Sport. Also, the Sport trim has a fixed-glass panoramic sunroof, but the rest carry a panoramic glass roof with a retractable panel.
Activating “California mode,” results in the roof panel opening, along with the rear and side glass, creating an open-air experience. This is perhaps the final note in innovation for this tidal wave of change Ocean SUV.
SUVs are, of course, uber-popular, and another offering from Fisker, comes in the form of the PEAR crossover. This vehicle’s acronym name stands for Personal Electric Automotive Revolution. About 4,500 mm long, it still seats five, with storage space and many industry-first features. With a starting price of $29,900 before any incentives, expect to see the PEAR in 2024. Thought of as a mobility device rather than a conventional car, it targets “global citizens and young urban innovators.
“Fisker is about making things for humans, by humans, with an emphasis on designing “individual mobility for people and planet” is what the company has to say. It seems that this is what the PEAR is, a futuristic and minimalist concept, that blends Fisker’s mission of sustainability, tech, and unique design. This is already something echoed with the Ocean, except in a larger package, one that is familiar and desired. The PEAR is something that seems to defy classification into any existing market segment, making Fisker’s attempt ground-breaking, to say the least.
Ronin, a historical noun from feudal Japan, is a term that means a wandering samurai who had no lord or master; what an awesome name for a car, even if it is at this time, just a concept. This vehicle is hailed as the world’s first all-electric four-door convertible, GT sports car. With “thrills beyond speed,” and a name like that, it’ll be quite interesting to see if Project Ronin shapes out as described by the automaker. If what the company has done already, namely with the Ocean, expect this to hit the mark. Given Mr. Fisker’s history, nothing less makes sense.
Fisker Inc. might only have a few credits to its name thus far in a short time in existence, but clearly, the company is shooting for the moon. Everything accomplished is a fresh new take, and perhaps because it is so, it has yet to catch fire. However, it’s never about quantity, but always quality. Looking a bit ahead, if we may, Fisker announced it would like to create a 100 percent climate-neutral vehicle by 2027. No doubt an aspirational goal, but what does this even mean? As enthusiasts, we all love our cars, but how can one not love the concept of Climate Neutral Vehicle Production? After all, we want to be here as long as we can, and Fisker is working to make that possible.
The Fisker Ocean offers a range of 360 miles, surpassing popular models like the Tesla Model Y and Mustang Mach-E. It also offers lightning fast charging.
The top-spec model, the Ocean Extreme, boasts 564 horsepower and 544 pound-feet of torque, outperforming the Tesla Model Y Performance.
The Fisker Ocean has a striking exterior design, practical features like a power liftgate and solar panels for added range, and a premium, tech-laden interior with a rotating 17.1-inch screen and immersive Pulse Audio System.
After the tumultuous beginnings with the Fisker Karma, a PHEV luxury sports car, Henrik Fisker returned to the car scene with a reinvigorated brand and debuted the Ocean electric SUV. The Fisker Ocean was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2022. Fast-forward to June 2023, EPA reported that the Fisker Ocean had a range of 360 miles and it sent waves in the EV market. Fisker is currently taking orders for the Ocean as it aims to compete with popular models such as the Tesla Model Y, Mustang Mach-E, Ioniq 5, and Kia EV6.
The Fisker Ocean is currently offered in four different models and the Ocean Extreme is the most powerful and top-spec model. The Ocean Sport has a 75 kW that helps produce 250 miles of range. It does 0-60 MPH in 6.9 seconds, but the model that has caught everyone’s attention is the Ocean Extreme. This model has a big 113-kW battery that will make 564 horsepower and 544 pound-feet of torque. It has 108 more horsepower and 65 pound-feet of torque than the Tesla Performance Model Y. It can even tow up to 4,000 pounds.

Not only that, but this SUV is also fast, with a 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.6 seconds. With fast DC charging, you can get 266 miles of range in only 33 minutes. Overall, the Fisker Ocean Extreme’s EPA-reported 360-mile range is going to make it a force to be reckoned with.
The Ocean’s Striking Exterior, Practicality, And Unique Features
Fisker
Front view of a 2023 Fisker Ocean
The Fisker Ocean’s exterior immediately takes you to the future with its striking headlights that seem to be inspired by the 2023 Range Rover Sport. A large grille, which you cannot mistake for some other manufacturer’s SUV as ‘OCEAN’ is spelled out right in the middle of the hood. On the sides, you will see 22-inch alloy wheels, wide arches, and flush door handles, as can be seen in various modern electric SUVs nowadays. The rear has sleek taillights, and we see a theme of sleek lines and lights in the front and rear to make this stand out in this ultramodern era of electric SUVs. The side and rear windows go down giving this electric SUV a convertible-like experience.
Fisker

The Fisker Ocean has solar panels on its roof, which truly shows how far automobile engineering has come. Officials at Fisker claim that these solar panels (called SolarSky) will give the Ocean Extreme 2,000 miles of range in a year under ideal conditions. This is something that even the Tesla Model Y does not have, and the Ocean Extreme possesses this unique selling point. Furthermore, this EV comes with a power liftgate and a maximum cargo space of 45 cubic feet, and it is also more than the Tesla Model Y.

The Fisker Ocean’s interior is simplistic yet filled with the latest technology. The rotating 17.1-inch screen does take all the attention inside the cabin. The screen can rotate landscape or portrait, depending on the driver’s preference, and we absolutely welcome this new innovation. The interior does have high-quality materials, which is something that Tesla vehicles often lack. The SolarSky roof provides a panoramic view for passengers, and this innovation is something we can truly get behind. If you are a music lover, then you are bound to love the Fisker Pulse Audio System. With 21 speakers inside the cabin and a 19-liter subwoofer you’re sure to get an immersive auditory experience that will give you the feeling of being inside a concert hall. This will certainly make you look forward to your journeys in this SUV.
Modern driver assistance and safety features are expected, and here’s what’s included:
360-degree camera
Lane change assist
Blind Spot Monitor
Door opening caution
Adaptive cruise control
Reverse collision evasion
Traffic signs sensing
Park My Car
Fi-Pilot is a Level 2 autonomous driving system, it is something that is becoming a standard in the EV industry. This is similar to GM’s Super Cruise, and it will brake, throttle, and even steer in some situations to make the driving experience much more relaxing and safer for you. Also, this SUV comes with modern safety features such as driver drowsiness attention and warning systems, evasive steering assistance, and intelligent speed assist.
The Fisker Ocean Extreme’s pricing starts at $68,999, and you can order yours today. It seems like Henrik Fisker and his team have learned valuable lessons from the failure of the Fisker brand when it was first launched. We are now seeing an approach that is much more refined and well-thought-out. Beating the Tesla Model Y’s EPA-tested range was crucial for this SUV to present itself to potential new customers who are looking for a change from conventional EV brands like Tesla, Kia, and Hyundai.
