About this listen

 In this episode of the Ocean Currents podcast, Andrew Bock and Bill Spohn are joined by Miles Sedgwick and two prominent FOA leaders from the EU and UK — Geeta and Jose — to dive into the unique challenges and successes of Fisker ownership outside North America. The conversation addresses common perceptions that the EU and UK communities are “left out,” highlighting instead a vibrant, collaborative ecosystem of owners and volunteers who are innovating solutions, supporting each other, and building bridges across language and geography. From the nuances of right-hand drive vehicles in the UK to organizing cross-border parts distribution and solving complex software issues, Geeta and Jose share firsthand stories of community ingenuity — like crowdfunded water pump buys, on-the-road repairs during ski trips, and volunteer-led “boot loop” fixes. They emphasize that FOA is a truly global effort, with shared problems and solutions flowing between continents, and that patience and cooperation remain key to long-term success. Listeners will gain insight into the resilience and creativity of EU and UK owners as they navigate software updates, parts availability, and service coverage while working toward a unified, worldwide FOA. Along the way, the discussion offers a healthy dose of humor, camaraderie, and even a few good-natured jabs about driving on “the wrong side of the car.”
