Fisker will open its first Fisker Lounge in Shanghai, China, as part of its ongoing expansion into the Chinese market. 

The company intends to establish its retail lounge on Taicang Road in December or January. 

Fisker opened an office in China last year and announced its plans for development this year, including the establishment of a delivery centre. Fisker Lounges are positioned in high-traffic retail locations, allowing present and future customers to experience the brand and get a closer look at its vehicles.

“China is an incredibly important market for us,” said chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker. 

“We are delivering vehicles in the US and Europe, but our goal since the company was established in 2016 has been to operate as a fully global firm.

“The EV industry is rapidly growing in China, and we want Fisker to be positioned as one of only two pure foreign EV brands. The Chinese customer deserves as much choice as possible, and we intend to provide it to them.”

The company says it is on a mission to develop the world’s most ecological and emotional electric vehicles.
