The Californian auto brand is set to challenge Elon Musk and Tesla's electric vehicle empire with its stylish zero-emission family model, which has a range of 275 to 390 miles, depending on specification.

The entry version of the Fisker Ocean - called the Sport - links a 'Touring Range' battery to a 275bhp electric motor powering the front wheels, meaning a 0-to-60mph sprint time of 6.6 seconds and an estimated range of 275 miles. It will start from £34,990, meaning it does not qualify for the <a href="https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-9377363/EVs-Government-subsidise-slashed-plug-car-grant.html">Plug-in Car Grant of £1,500 </a>. That said, it is some £8,000 less than the cheapest Tesla Model 3 saloon and a massive £20,000 under the least expensive Model Y SUV - though lowest-spec versions of both Teslas offer better ranges and performance stats.

Inside, the cabin is 'fully vegan', with cloth materials made from reclaimed fishing nets, T-shirts and rubber The Fisker Ocean has a number of party pieces up its sleeve. Among these is a rotating 17.1-inch infotainment screen that can swivel from landscape to portrait view at the push of a button when at a standstill

UK Fisker Oceans, which will be produced in Austria, are set to arrive from the second quarter of 2023 with performance to rival Tesla's vehicles.
