The report, which provides an in-depth analysis from production to disposal, is part of Fisker’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and transparency.
Why It Matters
The electric vehicle market is currently witnessing unprecedented growth, and the demand for sustainable options is on the rise.

Key Points
Fisker’s Life Cycle Assessment was uniquely conducted using primary data from Tier 1 suppliers and previous ESG impact reports. This provides a more accurate and reliable analysis of the vehicle’s environmental footprint. The Fisker Ocean outshines competitors in its segment, fulfilling its pledge as the world’s most sustainable vehicle.
