ah yes goyim, consoooom product. lol over the years at mass scale, the most sustainable use of these heavy non recycalable batteries that take a long time to make neutral in a crash fire, is to use the stuff in supercapacitor or minimal amount of battery (auxilarry battery) to power electric assited tiurbo for INNengine or freepiston sort of thing, mahle was tlaking about a recyclable electric motor and if magnets can be recycled, freepiston and NEVS in wheel electric motor sort fo thing would be just as sustinable and lot nicer . toyota also maybe coudl just use gr corolla 1.5 inline 3 across pretty much all cars. there could be a nice rear midengine compact 4 with the rear seat facin the rear to make driving not so boring anymore with more driver awareness and highest eevr scores in low chemical txocity, sustinability, crash saftey, low road wear, etc.... im not even done saying the things we could have. a silly half baked pretensious ironically named "suv" thing ir ev thing or hybrid thing or lousy 2.5 liter toyota sort of thing etc is not worth anyones money.

On the battery size Fisker apparently wanted to get away from you have to have a drive to own an EV mentality, which is understandable. You can now fill your car up once a week like an ICE is the switch in perception he’s looking for. Also means I don’t need to rely on the rubbish charging network when in the Highlands. You’re also spot on about the software, it’s been released early to keep the company afloat due to delays. There are a number of promised features that won’t be available until later this year as OTA updates.

The thing is... If we are serious about shifting frim IC to EV... We do gonna need huge batteries in cars. Even bigger. It should put out the range of atleast 1000km. It takes about less then 2 mins to fill a petrol car and we still have long queues at gas stations. Even the fastest chargers in takes atleast 20 min to go from 20%-80% in charging. So we need to be able to carry as much charge as possible so that we'll be less frequent on charging stations... Otherwise the queues on charging stations are gonna be hours long if not days. And people say that if you have bigger battery you'll be spending more time at charging so it will negete the effects... Well the math here is... Suppose for example if 1 min of charging gives you 5 mins of driving. Then spending extra time at charging stations will keep you off the station for even longer time, so over-all less queue.

Plus I've just driven to the South of France in my Ioniq 5 and there was loads of free sunshine, I could have happily taken the free energy and give me a little bit extra....Please Fisker, consider it?

“Whether a huge battery is the thing for sustainability…” I see your point Jack - superficially.But look at it this way: all EV batteries will lose capacity over the years. A second hand EV which has a range of, say, 100 miles will be effectively unsellable - especially in ten years’ time. Arguably, the biggest emissions chunk of an EV is the manufacturing - including the materials sourcing. Therefore, if the car can be run by yourself or a used vehicle buyer it kicks the new car manufacturer emissions down the road a few years. Having a new car 200 mile range which will still drive 150 miles on re-sale is overall far more sustainable than one with only 100. (Numbers only to illustrate my argument - ranges nowadays are far greater so, deniers, don’t waste your electronic ink quoting my low range numbers!

Big battery long range is ideal for me, as a retiree I like touring and in Australia I rack up many K's in a day on freeways. Also ideal for charging the battery on my emtb as well as plugging into home for extra storage. The bigger batt would also help with those who tow boats and caravans. I used to run portable, power hungry equipment on lithium batteries, the smaller batts would only last two years but the larger ones I'd get 4 years out of, I feel the bigger the battery the longer they'll last.

Love the design from the outside , only thing I would change is the badge , needs to be darker to align with rest of trim. I can see an after market option for that being good

Agree - badge looks lame - and am sure there are more eco-friendly ways to badge it eg engraving. Amazing car - am going to keep a close eye on Fisker going forward.

Also agree the badge needs to be changed to be more dark and not stick up so much either.

As a Canadian, I roll my eyes whenever a European tinks a car doesn't need that much range. People here might drive 70 km "one way" to work with nowhere to charge

Fellow Canadian here - There's also being prepared for emergencies. If you live in a somewhat remote area and a family member or friend needs to go to the hospital after you've gotten home from work and you're far away from both fast chargers and the care your loved one needs, you need a vehicle that can take them there (and possibly back) without needing to get a long L2 top up before leaving. There are reasons why so many Canadians have a rule of thumb of filling up at half a tank, especially in winter (which means keeping 250-450 km in reserve depending on conditions and the vehicle). Because even for gas cars, filling stations aren't always open when you need to go somewhere, and the wrong road blocked by an accident or bad weather can cause long detours, so you better have enough on board if needed. If you want people in those circumstances to drive mostly electric, the car either needs a pretty large battery for a BEV, or a small by BEV standards, but still large by PHEV standards (>75 km hwy range for day to day with charging on both ends) with a gas range extender. And there haven't been many of the latter. Or, the unlikely future in the near to medium term of widespread on road wireless charging while driving. That'd enable smaller batteries, but require a heck of a lot of infrastructure.

@@seabreamAmbulances are for those situations. 70km one way trip to work is a quite long. But I know a couple of guys doing it here in Finland as well. EV is a very economical way to drive those long distance drives to work. Petrol cost 1.8€/litre so it is over 300€ per month for petrol and it is only drives to work with low consuming vehicle (like 6L/100km). It will be under 100€ / month with EV.

@@janivertanen maybe an ambulance if really severe, but here in the US it's often better to drive a loved one to the hospital if possible because you'll save more than $100 per minute, especially if you're kinda remote. But that's a whole other issue

Me laughing in 55km-one-way-5-days-a-week. Must be nice calling into work by shouting down the street😒. My Chevy Bolt has 480km of range fully charged, and I still wish I had an extra 100km minimum. Range is key for North America. We are all super commuters and only getting worse with the skyrocketing housing market. That being said, I do have an Alaska pre-ordered (CU0RLI - My referral code if you plan on ordering one), and the range quoted is a meager 300miles😢. I hope they'll have a ridiculous North American battery pack available.

"The average new car cost £39,308 in January this year, Auto Trader said, up from £27,305 half a decade earlier." So it's below average for any new car including ICE cars. That doesn't seem so expensive (at least in the UK) if we take that into consideration?
