32-Amp: Part Deux—Ugh, They Got Me!
It’s one thing to write about a limitation; it’s quite another to have that limitation punch you in the face exactly seven days later. Just last week, I was posting about the 32-amp home charging ceiling of the Fisker Ocean, calling it a "manageable hurdle." I never would have imagined...
The 32-Amp Reality: Living with a Fisker’s Long Commute
For Home Charging Your EV, it's All About the Amperage In the world of electric vehicles, we often get caught up in the "peak" numbers—the 0-60 sprints, the maximum horsepower, and the theoretical top charging speeds. But as any seasoned EV owner will tell you, the number that actually dictates...
Diving Into the Fisker Ocean OS 2.6.1 Upgrade
If you’ve been following the Fisker journey, you know that software updates are more than just code—they are milestones of progress. The jump to OS 2.6.1 has officially landed, and while the "big" features of 2.6 gave us CarPlay, this 2.6.1 refinement is all about the "quality of life" fixes...

The Jump to 2.5 & 2.6: My Ocean Has CarPlay!

Damn Vegas! You One Cold Bitch!
The Mojave Desert is a land of deceptive distances and shifting temperaments, a reality that becomes starkly apparent when you trade the modern interstate for the ghost-town charm of Route 66. Setting out from Palm Springs, the morning air felt crisp but manageable, yet as the elevation climbed and the...
What We lost When We Lost Fisker
When Fisker shut down, we lost than just a car company, society lost a champion that aligned our values to their laws There was a moment, not too long ago, when the electric vehicle revolution felt like it belonged to the dreamers, not just the accountants. We were on the...
5 MPH: Like That’s Gonna Stop Me
5 mph: The Art of the Coast OK, so at first it seemed legit, and here was yet another Fisker fail point: The fact that the Fisker Ocean regen braking slows the car down to a point of 5-mph, then releases, never applying enough force to bring the car to...
