Electric-vehicle startup Fisker Inc said on Friday it was exploring options to manufacture in the United States in 2024 and was considering ramping up production of its first vehicle, the Ocean SUV, in the second half of 2023. U.S. manufacturing would make certain vehicle models eligible for a tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act, a 0 billion bill focused on lowering healthcare costs, promoting clean energy and increasing corporate taxes. Demand for electric vehicles has surged as countries worldwide chase cleaner transport options and seek to achieve net-zero carbon emissions targets to tackle climate change.
