- A barely used Fisker Ocean just sold for less than a new economy car.
- The electric SUV originally retailed for around $69,000, before options.
- Fisker’s bankruptcy still hangs over what these EVs are worth today.
When Fisker launched the Ocean One, it promised exclusive styling, long range, and performance worthy of its premium asking price. Just three years later, one example with only 17,000 miles on its odo has sold for less than the price of a new entry-level economy car. If you needed another reminder of how unforgiving the used market can be for vehicles from failed automakers, this is it.
The 2023 Fisker Ocean One crossed the auction block on July 7 for just $15,800 after attracting 30 bids. Originally priced at $68,999, that represents depreciation of more than 77 percent in around three years. This wasn’t a clapped-out, abused example, either.

Finished in blue over a black interior, the all-wheel-drive electric SUV features dual permanent-magnet motors producing 564 hp (421 kW) and 543 lb-ft (736 Nm) of torque from a 106 kWh battery pack. When new, Fisker claimed up to 360 miles (579 km) of driving range.

Equipment includes a SolarSky photovoltaic roof, 22-inch wheels, a rotating 17.1-inch infotainment display, heated seats, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera system, and the brand’s signature California Mode that lowers every side window at the touch of a button.
The Ocean auctioned on BaT showed just 17,042 miles on its odometer and came with a clean Carfax report showing no reported accidents or damage. The listing notes that the interior door handles were replaced in May 2026, but otherwise presents the SUV as a well-kept example with two previous owners. Honestly, the general package sounds appealing, especially for $15,800, but owning a Fisker requires a real commitment to the lifestyle.

Fisker’s bankruptcy left owners facing an uncertain future regarding software support, replacement parts, and long-term service. While owner communities have stepped up with resources and independent support, buyers still have to accept significantly more risk than they would with an EV from an established manufacturer.

That said, there’s no question that the price paid here bought quite a lot of hardware and relatively low mileage. Whether it proves to be one of the biggest automotive steals, or one of the biggest headaches, will only become clear with time.
