“Our partnership with Ample will enable us to broaden the
vehicle use case for our customers,” Henrik Fisker, Chairman and
CEO of Fisker Inc. said. “We’re thrilled to offer Ample’s
innovative battery-swapping system, which will bring a new level of
affordability to the Fisker Ocean and potentially to the other
vehicles we intend to bring to market in the future.”
“We’re incredibly excited about our relationship with Fisker.
They’ve developed best-in-class EVs that our team is proud to
support,” said Khaled Hassounah, Co-founder and CEO of Ample.
“We’re looking forward to assisting with making the Fisker Ocean
available to a wide segment of customers as a part of our goal to
bring more EVs on the road.”
The initial target customer for Fisker’s Ample-powered EVs will
be fleet operators who are looking to transition to electric
mobility without economic or operational compromises. Ample's
technology makes it possible to rapidly deploy EV infrastructure so
that Fisker can make its vehicles available to larger markets on a
faster timetable. Fisker and Ample will share revenue related to
the battery swapping mechanism.
Battery swapping offers drivers energy delivered as quick as
gasoline and at a lower per-mile cost. For drivers looking to
transition to electric, speed and cost are key and more so for high
mileage drivers, such as those in the ride-hailing industry. With
today’s announcement drivers can now look forward to a combination
of award-winning design and affordability in the Fisker Ocean,
powered by the latest battery technology, never worrying about
range or charging anxiety.
Joint development between Ample and Fisker is already underway,
with the goal of providing battery swappable Fisker Ocean vehicles
by Q1 2024.
