On May 29, the American electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker held a meeting and announced that it would lay off hundreds of employees. This is a major adjustment to the company's personnel structure in recent times. In this regard, relevant people speculated that Fisker may have taken layoff measures due to business or financial problems, or it may be a structural optimization for better future development.
Fisker has gone through several rounds of layoffs. In February this year, the company announced 15% of its layoffs. According to a regulatory filing, as of April 19, Fisker had 1,135 employees. Those headcounts were reduced by an unknown amount after another round of layoffs in late April, and Wednesday's layoffs followed a series of layoffs in late May. After months of woes, a new round of layoffs comes less than a year after full-scale deliveries of the Ocean SUV began.
According to people familiar with the matter, despite the wide range of layoffs, Henrik Fisker sounded calm and firm on the conference call, noting at one point that the company made "great work" and would It continues to sell its only electric vehicle, the Ocean SUV, to those willing to buy one.
