In February 2020, Fisker Inc. confirmed plans to expand its planned model range with a full-size electric pickup named Alaska. [2] The appearance of the rear part of the body, reminiscent of the long and narrow lamps of the Ocean SUV, as well as the name was confirmed by Henrik Fisker himself via Twitter, later claiming that he added the entry accidentally, deleting it shortly after publication.

The Fisker Alaska was presented by Fisker on August 4, 2023, during an event in Huntington Beach, California. [4] [5]
