2025 Fisker Alaska EV ute to hit 100km/h in under 4.0sec

More details of the 2025 Fisker Alaska have been announced – including battery capacities, acceleration claims and dimensions – just a fortnight on from the dual-cab electric ute’s global reveal earlier this month.

Destined to hit the North American market in the first quarter of 2025 priced from $45,400 ($A70,960), the Fisker Alaska measures 5303mm long, making it about the same length as the current Toyota HiLux dual-cab, and will roll on 20-, 21- or 22-inch wheels depending on the variant.

The expected 370-547km driving ranges will be provided by 75kWh and big 113kWh battery packs stored within the ute’s FM31 platform, while 0-60mph (0-97km/h) will be dispatched in anywhere from 3.9 to 7.2 seconds depending on the powertrain.

There are no powertrain specifics in terms of motor counts or outputs, but the Alaska – not to be confused with the Nissan Navara-based Renault Alaskan sold in Europe and South America – has already been confirmed as the more utilitarian cousin of the Fisker Ocean electric SUV, meaning outputs of between 205-418kW are very much on the cards courtesy of single- and dual-motor configurations.

The lifestyle ute’s load bed has already been confirmed as being 1.37m long, which is shorter than that of the popular HiLux and Ford Ranger, but its effective length can be extended to almost 2.3m via the stowable ‘Houdini’ boot behind the rear seats that in turn fold flat.

Payload and towing capacities aren’t expected to up there with Australia’s top-selling ladder-frame diesel utes, but the Alaska will have to be capable of carrying and hauling at least small loads to compete with established car-based, combustion-powered mid-size dual-cabs sold in the US, like the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick.

Fisker is yet to confirm an official entry into the Australian market but has been talking about such a move for well over a year now, with the Ocean SUV said to be Australia-bound either in 2024 or 2025.

Given Australia is one of the world’s three biggest mid-size ute markets, it would be logical for the Alaska to be sold here, and company founder Henrik Fisker said in 2020 that the four EVs he plans to launch by 2025 would be produced in right-hand drive “ASAP” for markets including Australia.
