You might not have heard of Fisker yet, but the company is being touted as the next Tesla - if they can navigate their way through some choppy financial waters and finally get production started. The Ocean SUV is due in the UK next year and is a truly innovative electric car. This is the company’s second model and it looks like another peach - it’s the Pear.
Fisker has revealed more details its ‘city car’, which is due to follow the bigger Ocean SUV into production in 2025. It will have two battery choices, giving claimed ranges of 198 or 320 miles range and a starting price which undercuts a Corsa Electric at £30,900.
The Pear will be built in the US in collaboration with Foxconn, the company which is best known for its huge iPhone assembly factories in China. It uses a lightweight steel body structure which Fisker claims uses 35% fewer parts than a conventional electric car. But that doesn’t mean it's a small car, and at 4,550mm it’s actually longer than a Nissan Qashqai
Besides its lightweight and cheap-to-manufacture structure and drivertrain, the Pear features numerous clever features to make life easier for urban drivers. These include a bootlid which slides down into the back bumper, an insulated ‘frunk’ for keeping takeaways warm and a van-like bench front seat which turns it into a six-seater.
Join Ginny as she takes a closer look at the Pear for the first time and delivers the Electrifying.com verdict. What do you think of the Fisker? As always, we love to hear your comments so get typing below.

I sure hope this makes it to market. Here in the US we miss out on a many or most of the nice smaller EVs. I currently have a 2017 Kia Soul EV and love it... but wouldn't mind more range and was saddened that the new Soul never came to us... same with the VW ID 2ALL and so many others. a year and a half wait though is a while for a company teetering on bankruptcy; I do hope it makes it!

@nomoreheroes93 Год назад

4:30 "pear-ed back approach" 😂 the best pun Ginny made and she didn't even notice

@metaspectivate Год назад

I think that parking half a metre further from a wall or car behind would be a small price to pay for a "regular" hatch rear and that cost saving can then come off the price tag (and it would probably avoids a future reliability issue).

@howertingsyaboya3789 Год назад

I fully agree, and an ordinary hatch door would also free up a lot of space "under" the floor. Besides, a normal hatch door is great for keeping us dry from the rain here in rainy north western europe.

@jamesvandamme7786 Год назад

I don't even want a power operated hatch. Less to break. And NO sunroof, they always leak.

@ryanstallbaumer 11 месяцев назад

I would take a hatch with a roll down window over the whole thing rolling down into the bumper. Seems needlessly complex and if you wanted to toss something like groceries in the back you could easily just roll the back glass down.

@Noah_E Год назад

I wish them well. A local (at the time) high volume Ford dealer had eight Fisker Karma on the lot when I was helping a friend shop for a new car about a decade ago. The fit and finish was awful and it was way overpriced back then. Hopefully if/when it comes to America they won't repeat some of Tesla's mistakes. Use real buttons/dials/switches for basic controls and have actual quality control so they aren't three different shades/textures of paint and the panels are properly aligned and don't leak or rattle. Function needs to start trumping form if EVs are going to gain wider acceptance faster. "Normal" people don't like it when basic things like door handles that work in winter, fog lights, glove boxes, and rear wipers are removed from a car simply to save the manufacturer money to the detriment of the user. My friend ended up buying an Acura that she still owns BTW.

@martinmcnulty8155 Год назад

Different company and more importantly different factory. Judge the Ocean by Ocean reviews. Judge the Pear by Pear reviews...

@packetattack7437 Год назад

Yeah, removing the rear wiper is insane from all of these SUV based EVs. Also, I want buttons, I don't like touch screens nor do many buyers I speak with because they find them distracting or hard/confusing to use. Why change a good model that works? My Ford pickup has big dials to turn for heat and radio, that's what the majority of US consumers want based on the F150 being one of the best selling vehicles in the USA.

@akr01364 Год назад

My only complaint is that it has 20 inch wheels. I really wish that someone would put on a smaller diameter wheel on a modern car. Is there any reason you the larger amount of rolling mass that comes with a larger wheel and tire means less efficiency and larger costs down the road because buying a 20 inch tire is not an inexpensive proposition. I realize electric cars weigh more than their internal combustion engine counterparts and that means needing larger brakes. But, if I gigantica American pickup truck can make do with smaller brakes of less than 15 in I'm entirely certain Fisker or anyone else could as well.

@deltajohnny 7 месяцев назад

My thoughts as well 👏👏👏

@anthonystevens8683 Год назад

As a concept right off the vine it's a very interesting car. I would hope that this version gets a few changes to the interior though as right now it's taking the pip. Let's hop that the production version when it ripens bears fruit.

@78Terp Год назад

What is your core thoughts? I like it and could see replacing my Bolt in a few years. I've had the Bolt since November 2017 and have 71,000+ miles on it. Since it lives in my garage when not in use, it still looks brand new on the exterior. My dog has provided the wear and tear on the interior. She's out of her gourd when we go bye-bye.

I am so frustrated! I have to change my car this year. I’d have loved to put a Pear on the drive. It has massive a-peal. It would make a superb car for us disabled drivers. I hope it end up on Motability. I look forward to my first drive review.

@elliotspencer903 Год назад

I really hope they make the car. It looks amazing. However not sure on the bench seat at the front

@DavidNippert Год назад

Bench seat is an option. You can get a 5 seat version if you want.

@paso7943 Год назад

The thing with Fisker is that you have to accept 7-8 years delay for their delivery date. So this model may come to market in 2030 or 2035. 1 thing is important though.... don't pay upfront...

@johndoyle4723 Год назад

Thanks, lets hope it makes it to the UK at this price point, it would do very well as a not too many frills 6 seater.

What a great car, hope it goes in to full production and we get it in the UK. It's a lovely design.

@temporalsoliton Год назад

Cleaver and thoughtful design. There is much to like. I hope they rethink the front as it is a bit busy looking and the height of the front seats make the second row seem very closed in.

Fisker needs first to prove that they can mass produce a car. He is good at raising money, that is for sure. Looks all nice on paper even if this averagely build prototype (hatch misalignment, dull interior), needs to prove its quality. Volvo, even if the EX30 is produced by Geely, has a more sustainable approch and a manufacturing track record.

@gap9992 Год назад

Great car but a bit too wide for the UK? No chance it will be £30k in the UK

@kevinn1158 Год назад

When I first saw it I thought, oh no it's another small car that won't have any range, but after seeing you sit in it and stand in front of it, I'm guessing it's bigger than expected. I just wish Fisker can sort out it's production and software.

Has Buckley hit the Lambrini? She’s gone bananas. What a great, fun introduction to the Pear. I too hope Fisker ‘make it’. The waiting list for the Ocean is now massive, and it deserves to sell. Let’s hope the Pear gets to market asap and creates them a big fat positive cash flow.

Indeed - several 70s sedans had bench front seats too…

@Woodcote Год назад

With the front bench, the back seat looks slightly claustrophobic and may cause car sickness not being able to see between the usual gap in the front seats. Hopefully they will offer a center console version too. I need my arm rest 😊

@shonunezekiel Год назад

it is early days, but Fisker have said they will offer both a 5 seat and 6 seat variation... with the 5 seat variation, the infotainment screen can rotate between landscape and portrait, but it is fixed in landscape for the 6 seater.

@riaz8783 Год назад

The headrest arrangement does look like you can still somewhat see through the bench. No worse than being in the back row of a 7 seater

A local Ford dealer had eight Fisker Karmas in a row when I was helping a friend car shop about a decade ago. The fit and finish was awful. And those were production cars with six figure MSRPs. I would expect ones costing a quarter as much to be even worse. After my friend finished looking the salesman grabbed the fob to one of the Karmas and I still remember how poorly the headliner had been installed. My friend pointed to a crease and hump in it and asked why it was like that. I said "Shit quality control" and both her and the salesman laughed. No need for a test drive.

@shonunezekiel Год назад

@@Noah_E the Fisker Ocean production was outsourced to Magna in Austria, who build cars for Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW and have a good reputation for quality... from all reviews so far the fit and finish seems spot on... the Fisker PEAR is being made somewhere else of course, so we will have to see if they keep up the standard (an iphone production line is very different to a car production line!).

The average vehicle occupancy for commuting in the US is 1.29 persons per vehicle. This means that most people drive alone to work, and only a few carpool with others. So you definitely need an 8-seater, 7-seater or at least 6-seater in America to be great again!

Then it should have 10% increase in range, 150+kw charging, maybe a heat pump etc. Prob still at sub 30k base pricing and built in America with us sourced cells so fully tax credit eligible. 👍🏻
