Fisker Inc. is an American automotive company founded by Danish automotive designer Henrik Fisker and his wife Geeta Gupta-Fisker. Launched in 2016 and based in Manhattan Beach, California, Fisker Inc. is the successor to Fisker Automotive. In the summer of 2020, Fisker Inc. announced an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange through a merger with Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp, a SPAC backed by private equity firm Apollo Global Management. The company completed the reverse merger that autumn. Fisker Inc. developed the Fisker Ocean, an electric sport utility vehicle, which was released in 2023. In early 2024, the company experienced intense financial difficulties, and its shares were delisted from the NYSE. Fisker defaulted on a short term loan according to filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and has stated there is “substantial doubt” about being able to sustain ongoing operations. It subsequently laid off most of its employees, closed its headquarters, and began substantially reducing prices on its stock. By June, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in US court. Wikipedia
