Fisker EV Owners Champion Right-to-Repair Movement After Company Closure

Electric vehicle enthusiasts are rallying behind the right-to-repair movement following the collapse of Fisker, the luxury EV manufacturer that ceased operations in 2024.

Dedicated owners of Fisker vehicles have refused to abandon their cars, instead banding together to develop independent repair solutions and share technical knowledge.

The grassroots movement highlights growing concerns about manufacturer control over vehicle repairs and software. As automakers increasingly restrict access to diagnostic tools and replacement parts, consumers are demanding greater autonomy over their vehicles.

Fisker owners argue that when a company goes bankrupt, customers should not be left with unusable vehicles. Their advocacy underscores broader questions about ownership rights in an era of increasingly computerised automobiles.

The campaign has drawn attention to legislative efforts across multiple jurisdictions to enshrine consumers' right to repair their own vehicles, potentially reshaping the automotive industry's approach to service and maintenance.
