Fisker Ocean drivers can charge their EVs with 100% renewable energy in Europe through the partnership. Recognising that use of renewable energy significantly reduces CO2 footprint over a vehicle's lifetime, Fisker prioritises green charging operators that power their public charging networks with renewable energy. By using green charging, Fisker estimates a 40% or more reduction in CO2 footprint during an EV's use phase.
"Charging matters: it's a significant part of an EV's carbon footprint over its life cycle. Customers are placing greater importance on the sources of electricity they use to charge their EVs. Fisker will continue to lead the industry in ESG practices and give customers the most sustainable choices," said chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.
Allego, a pan-European EV charging network, will provide Fisker Ocean drivers in Europe with easy access to renewable-energy charging at all of its charge points. Every kWh supplied by Allego's charging stations is 100% percent renewable, certified by Guarantee of Origin Certificates (GOs). Through its energy platform, Allego powers its chargers with renewables generated from wind or PV (photovoltaic) farms with long term power purchase agreements.
Using the Fisker Ocean's navigation system and the Fisker Flex Charge app, drivers can seamlessly locate Allego stations and access one year of free charging at over 27,000 eligible charging ports.
