Fiska went bust just a few months after rushing the Ocean to market before all the bugs had been ironed out.
It's a shame as the Ocean looked like a great contender as a replacement for the Freelande ... |

The AC on our EV uses between 150 and 500 Watts of power depending on AC load, so would be similar for an ICE vehicle too.
A gallon of diesel contains 34 kWh of energy, so 500 Watts out of 34 kWh ... |

Its just a dust cap like a tyre valve. Nothing to worry about.
Providing no dirt settled in the valve aperture while the cap was off, which gets pushed into the AC system next pressure check. |

It's got 4 wheels and a drive shaft between them on the picture on the fuse box lit.
