The results are in, and the test engineers who set the WLTP range estimates for European consumers say that the Fisker Ocean Sport can go up to 288 miles (464 km) per charge. That’s 38 miles (62 km) more than even the automaker thought.
When Fisker announced the all-electric SUV, it said it was targeting a range of just 250 miles (402 km), but now the regulator has shown that when equipped with 20-inch wheels, the EV can go even farther than that.
The figure is a pretty good one for the Ocean Sport, which has an MSRP of £36,900 ($37,499 in the U.S.). For reference, the most basic version of the Tesla Model Y starts at £44,990 ($56,393 USD at current exchange rates) and gets just 283 miles (455 km) of range on the WLTP cycle.

“At its core, the Fisker Ocean Sport brings the thrill of electric driving to customers with a comprehensive package, while making it accessible and efficient,” said Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker. “The range performance confirmed from the intensive WLTP testing procedure reinforces the strength of the Ocean Sport’s offering even further, providing comprehensive performance to meet customers’ needs.”
Despite its athletic name, the Ocean Sport is the entry-level model. That means that its batteries power a single motor at the front wheels, which gets the crossover up to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a perfectly acceptable 7.4 seconds.
In addition to having surprising range, the model also comes with 200 kW DC fast charging capabilities, which means it can regain as much as 188 miles (302 km) of range in as little as half an hour.
The higher performance version of the crossover, the Ocean Extreme, gets all-wheel-drive, 550 hp (410 kW/558 PS), and can go up to 360 miles (579 km) per charge. However, the extra speed and power come at a cost. The higher-spec Fisker starts at £60,880 in the U.K. and $68,999 in the U.S.
