    Talking Cars 442: Driving the Fisker Ocean

    Plus, the best cars for road trips

    Main theme: In this supersized one-hour episode, the podcast panel shares the unusual experience of purchasing, receiving, and driving our 2023 Fisker Ocean Ultra with a hyper-range battery and dual motors. It’s been a wild ride from the beginning, despite the exorbitant $2,438 destination charge. Once checked in, our testers noted a variety of warning messages before they even hit the road. And the story continues with a variety of notable observations throughout the break-in period that leads up to our formal testing.

    Read our Fisker Ocean first drive.

    Audience Questions
    • How do you store an EV for long periods of time?
    • Which of these is best for road trips: Ford Maverick, Subaru Forester, or Toyota Camry?
