On the same day that announced its third EV model, Fisker released its Q1 2022 Financial Results on Wednesday evening followed by a Conference Call. Henrik Fisker unveiled high ambitions for the upcoming PEAR model saying that the three derivatives will enable the company to sell “a million PEARs a year sometime in 2027”.
“There will be two other variations of the PEAR coming out of course, after we launched the PEAR in 2024. And they will come later in 2025 and 2026. But ultimately, the three derivatives, we believe it’ll enable us to sell a million PEARs a year sometime in 2027. So, fairly soon, and we think this is going to be a really important story — the growth story of Fisker in the future globally, Fisker CEO said.”
BE THE FIRST ONE TO GET THE NEWS
On Wednesday, Fisker CEO commented on his the announcement of the new model: Project Ronin that will be unveiled in August 2023. The GT will feature unique doors for better ingress and egress and a luxurious, sustainable vegan interior that plots a new, advanced design direction.
“Fisker RONIN, an innovative, high-tech electric GT Sports Car. Battery pack integrated into the structure for more efficiency and lower weight. Range over 550 miles. Expected pricing; starting just under $200k . Showing prototype august next year!”, Henrik said.
Overall, I’m really optimistic about Fisker‘s future despite uncertainty that’s going on in the world and I think it’s really to do with our incredible strong partners, Magna for our Ocean program, and Foxconn for our PEAR program. Being with such large global companies, is obviously something that clearly has helped us weather the storms of supply chain issues, chip issues, et cetera, and so far, I can only relay again, we are on target to start production 17th of November this year, he added.
