Fisker's Ocean is the electric luxury SUV that crossed from consumer vehicle into military territory: a 300-mile range, 300-horsepower platform that Fisker revealed in rugged render form as a militarized variant in early 2020, combining zero-emission propulsion with the performance envelope demanded by tactical operations.
What Is the Fisker Ocean Electric SUV?
The Fisker Ocean was revealed at the start of 2020 as the company's flagship all-electric SUV, positioned as a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y. The production specification targets over 300 horsepower from its electric drivetrain and a range of over 300 miles on a single charge. The sub-3-second 0 to 60 mph sprint time places it firmly in the performance bracket, well beyond what is needed for a standard family SUV.
The Military Variant: Force E Package
What makes the Ocean particularly notable in the tactical vehicle space is Fisker's parallel development of a militarized version. Working under the banner of the Force E package, Fisker adapted the Ocean's electric platform for defense applications: silent propulsion for stealth operations, instant torque for rapid response, and the ability to run without the acoustic and thermal signatures of a combustion engine. While renders were released in 2020, full specification details were held back pending further development.
The concept is not without precedent. Electric powertrains have long been evaluated by defense programs for their ability to operate quietly and to reduce supply-chain dependence on liquid fuel. Fisker's approach applied this logic to a production-derived SUV platform rather than a bespoke military vehicle, which theoretically reduces cost and simplifies logistics.
Fisker's Larger EV Ambitions
The Ocean was intended as the first of three models in Fisker's all-electric lineup. The consumer version entered production in 2023 before Fisker filed for bankruptcy protection in June 2024, putting both the civilian and military programs in question. Full production and specification details were covered by InsideEVs, and the official reveal is documented at Electrek.
