California-based, electric vehicle manufacturer, Fisker Inc, has announced a partnership with energy management firm Ample, to create battery-swappable EVs for fleet operators in the US and Europe. The collaboration aims to provide affordable and sustainable EV mobility without compromising operational and economic efficiency. Fisker and Ample will share revenue related to the battery-swapping mechanism. Fisker’s Ample-powered EVs’ initial target customers are fleet operators seeking to switch to electric mobility, including high-mileage drivers in the ride-hailing industry.
Battery swapping is considered a promising solution for EV charging infrastructure, particularly for high-mileage drivers, as it offers energy delivered as quickly as gasoline and at a lower per-mile cost. Ample's solution is designed to be as fast, cheap and convenient as gasoline, making it easier for drivers. Fisker is committed to designing and developing individual mobility for a clean future for all. Fisker has a mobile app available for download from the App Store or Google Play store.
