Reuters reported last week that the special purpose acquisition company, Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp (N:SPAQ_u), was leading a bidding war among blank-check companies for Fisker.

The proceeds are expected to be used to bring the company’s first product, the Fisker Ocean, to production in late-2022.

The deal mirrors that of peer Nikola Corp (O:NKLA), which went public last month, as investors place bets on which startup will be the next Tesla Inc (O:TSLA).
