SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) ("Fisker") – passionate creator of the world's most sustainable electric vehicles and advanced mobility solutions – participated in the 8th annual Milken Institute Hamptons Dialogues, where the bi-partisan thinktank auctioned off a limited edition Fisker Ocean ONE for $170,000 in less than five minutes of lively bidding among the over 150 participants, with proceeds benefitting the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
"It was an honor participating in the Milken Institute 2022 Hamptons Dialogues and bringing the world's most sustainable vehicle to New York," Fisker Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said. "We're thrilled the auction went so well for the Prostate Cancer Foundation."
