A used windshield costs several thousand euros. The same goes for the engine and brake calipers for a Fisker Ocean, whose Nordic subsidiaries have long since gone bankrupt.
Fisker Inc. is almost gone. And the Nordic subsidiaries have already gone bankrupt. Several thousand cars remain.
The spare parts are there. But they are expensive. Very expensive. For example, a used windshield that Boosted found on the German part of eBay costs an insane 4,000 euros. That's 30,000 kroner.
A single brake caliper costs up to 9,400 kroner, while a new charging port with associated cable routing costs up to 2,250 euros or just under 17,000 kroner.
It's even more expensive if the electric motors are removed. According to Fiskershop.eu, which sells some of the spare parts, the cost for the front motor is a whopping 6,250 euros. That's 47,000 kroner.
Small parts are also negotiable. A handle costs 437 euros. You'll need four of them if you're really unlucky. So that printing alone runs up to 13,000 kroner.
That said, the Fisker Ocean is certainly not the only electric car that can become a very expensive second-hand acquaintance.
But in the US, where the brand was headquartered, service shops charge $600 or more, according to the YouTube channel Rich Rebuilds . It all depends on what software the car is already running.
But parts for new cars are generally expensive. Boosted has reported that a taillight for a Hummer EV, which is built by American GMC, costs 22,000 kroner. That's the unit price.
A taillight for a Fisker Ocean is not quite that expensive. It costs 327 euros or the equivalent of 2,500 kroner when new. The headlights are worse. They cost 1,100 euros or 8,200 kroner. Each.
And now that we're on the subject of the price of spare parts for electric cars, you should hang on for a moment. In a YouTube video, Danish journalist Anders Berner says that the so-called onboard charger for a Fiat 500e costs – and hold on to your phone – 75,000 kroner. Wow!
Back at Fisker, it is not surprising that several Danish and international insurance companies have refused to take out comprehensive insurance for new customers with an Ocean model.
In the US, for example, a woman was paid compensation for her entire car when her Fisker Ocean got a dent in the door. A story that Boosted also reported. Read more about it here .
