Electric vehicle startup Fisker announced on Instagram a new dealer partner in Denmark, expanding its sales network to sell the remaining inventory of its first model, Ocean.
Last week, the company reported that it is also adding three new dealership locations of which two are in California (Newport in Orange County and San Jose) and one in New Jersey. With this addition, Fisker reaches a total of 15 dealers in the US.
“The Fisker family grows from coast to coast… and beyond! We are pleased to announce a new partner in Viborg, East Jutland: Lindholm Biler,” the company stated. While celebrating the new partner, Fisker said Lindholm Biler is “ready to provide professional service, sales and support”.
“Furthermore, we have selected CarPeople service partners covering all of Denmark: Aalborg, Sønderborg, Odense, Ballerup and Birkerød,” the startup added.
NEVER MISS AN UPDATE
Last Sunday, the company sent an email to its U.S. customers, informing them of the discontinuation of the roadside assistance service. This decision mirrors the earlier announcement to halt the service in Europe earlier this month.
By then, Fisker encouraged owners in Europe to “explore the coverage options through the auto insurance provider and/or auto club membership”.
Roadside Assistance was a “limited and supplemental benefit” offered to Fisker owners for 6 years or 60,000 miles / 100,000 km, starting from the date of purchase of a new vehicle.

In a new review of Fisker‘s inaugural production model, the SUV Ocean, TopGear’s Ollie Marriage affirmed on Friday that the car is “arguably better built,” “easier to use,” and offers a “more luxurious” interior compared to the Tesla Model Y.
However, Marriage warned that the startup led by Henrik Fisker is “on a financial knife edge, and might not be here next year/month/week”.
On Friday, Fisker revealed the inclusion of Beka Auto, a dealer partnership situated in the Danish town of Sønderborg, into its network.
Earlier in the week, Fisker announced it sold out all the inventory units from the Sport trim of its first model, the SUV Ocean, in the US.
Fisker stated in a new SEC filing one week ago that it couldn’t complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter by May 10.
The EV startup stated that the “management identified certain material weaknesses, including that the Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements”. Fisker added that is “unable to provide an estimate” for the timing of the filing.
