The EV maker shared an image of the first such battery swap station built by Ample, which could automatically remove and install an EV battery in just minutes.
"The initial target customer for Fisker's Ample-powered EVs will be fleet operators who are looking for transition to electric mobility without economic or operational compromises," the EV maker said."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 relative to the battery swapping mechanism.
Fisker and Ample are betting that fleets may want to have this as an option to speed up vehicle turnarounds, for example in rental fleets, as an alternative to DC fast-charging or Level 2 charging. Infrastructure requirements for such stations also tend to favor scale, as privately owned Ocean SUVs will take some time to saturate a given metro area.
"Our partnership with Ample will enable us to broaden the vehicle use case for our customers," said Henrik Fisker, chairman and CEO of Fisker Inc.
