“A shared vision for success has been quickly established between the Fisker and Magna engineering teams, which is key for enabling us to jointly deliver the Ocean, as planned, in Q4, 2022,” added Fisker.
“Given the uptake in European reservations, we are also accelerating the roll-out of our consumer experience centres, with the first one anticipated to open in Europe in Q4, 2021, also in Munich.”
