Fisker Inc. Prepares for Bankruptcy Amid Financial Woes

Embattled electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker Inc. has announced its intention to seek bankruptcy protection within 30 days if it fails to obtain waivers from its debt holders or secure sufficient capital to settle its obligations. The company’s financial situation has deteriorated significantly, with cash reserves plummeting and a net loss of $463.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. Fisker has also faced setbacks with its production and sales, resulting in a production pause and price cuts on its Ocean SUV to stimulate demand. This news comes amid a broader downturn in the EV industry, with Canoo Inc. raising concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern and Lordstown Motors filing for bankruptcy protection last year.
