Fisker, the electric vehicle (EV) startup, is expanding its presence in Europe by entering three new markets. The company has launched in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, bringing the total number of European markets it operates in to ten. Fisker already operates in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The expansion into these new markets aligns with Fisker’s goal of establishing a strong presence in Europe early on. Henrik Fisker, Chairman and CEO of Fisker, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating that the company aims to sell its vehicles worldwide.
Customers in the three new markets can now visit country-specific websites to reserve and order the Fisker Ocean, the company’s electric SUV. Fisker will continue to use its direct-sales model in these markets, and customers will have access to Fisker service and sales support. The company plans to establish Fisker Lounge locations or delivery and service centers in or near major cities in these markets. Deliveries in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are expected to begin by the end of September.
In addition to its European expansion, Fisker announced that it will start delivering the Ocean electric SUV in Canada in September. The company provided details on its strategy for the Canadian market, stating that it expects to complete homologation of the Ocean EV by September 7, after which customer deliveries can commence. Fisker estimates that most launch-edition Ocean One vehicle deliveries in Canada will be completed by the end of September.
Henrik Fisker expressed gratitude for the patience of future Canadian owners as the company ramps up its business in 2023. He noted that the Vancouver and Toronto areas have shown strong customer interest, and as a result, Fisker plans to establish retail and service locations, as well as Fisker-certified collision-repair centers, in both cities.
Fisker also intends to provide sales and service support in Canada, including mobile service with Fisker-trained technicians, and consumer financing through Scotiabank, its nominated retail financing partner. The company will offer pop-up test drive events in the Vancouver and Toronto areas in September, with more events planned for the fall.
Fisker Expands into European Markets and Begins Deliveries in Canada
In a significant stride towards its global expansion, Fisker, the renowned electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has announced its foray into European markets, coupled with the commencement of deliveries in Canada. The move underscores the company’s commitment to make sustainable mobility options accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
European customers who have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Fisker’s sleek electric SUV, the Ocean, can now rejoice.

This expansion further solidifies Fisker’s position as an emerging leader in the EV industry, known for its forward-thinking approach to design and sustainable practices.
Fisker’s entry into Europe arrives at a pivotal moment, as the continent is witnessing a surge in demand for electric vehicles. With strict emission-reduction targets set by various European countries, Fisker’s Ocean comes as a timely option for environmentally conscious consumers. The Ocean’s cutting-edge technology, impressive range, and commitment to using recycled and vegan materials have already garnered significant attention in both North America and Asia. The European market is poised to embrace the unique qualities of the Ocean, supporting the ongoing shift towards sustainable transportation.
Moreover, Fisker’s debut in Canada marks an important milestone for the company’s North American expansion. The Canadian market has shown a strong affinity for electric vehicles, and Fisker’s decision to begin delivering its highly anticipated models there is a testament to the country’s role in the global EV landscape. The Ocean’s arrival in Canada comes after its successful introduction in the United States, where it quickly gained popularity for its bold design and eco-conscious features.
Fisker aims to distinguish itself in the Canadian market by providing exceptional customer service and a hassle-free ownership experience. The company’s innovative Fisker Flexee App, which allows customers to manage and schedule charging sessions, as well as handle other car-related tasks effortlessly, further enhances the convenience of owning a Fisker EV. This customer-centric approach, combined with the Ocean’s impressive performance and eco-friendly features, is poised to make a significant impact on the Canadian EV market.
Henrik Fisker, Chairman and CEO of Fisker Inc., expressed his optimism about the European expansion and Canadian deliveries, stating, “We are thrilled to bring the Fisker Ocean to European customers and see the demand for sustainable mobility rising. Europe has always been at the forefront of electrification, and it is an honor to offer our groundbreaking electric SUV to the European market. Additionally, Canada’s commitment to EV adoption presents an excellent opportunity for Fisker, and we are excited to deliver our vehicles to the Canadian market.”
With its European expansion and entry into the Canadian market, Fisker is poised to become a global player in the rapidly growing EV industry. The company’s commitment to design, sustainability, and customer satisfaction has resonated with consumers around the world, and its expansion into new markets marks a significant milestone in its journey towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. As Fisker continues to forge ahead, it holds the promise of transforming the way we think about mobility and setting new standards for the electric vehicle industry.
