Fisker announces ChargePoint as North American partner for public charging
Fisker has named ChargePoint Holdings as its North American partner for electric vehicle public charging solutions.
The Fisker and ChargePoint collaboration will provide Fisker EV owners with access to more than 210,000 active ports under management, with over 16,700 DC fast charge ports and over 400,000 roaming ports.
The two companies intend to make it easy for drivers to access ChargePoint’s industry-leading network of Level 2 and DC fast chargers, and roaming partner stations; which together encompass more than 80% of public charging spots in North America.
“The minute they get their new Fisker Ocean, our owners want convenient and easy-to-locate public charging stations, a quick, easy experience when using a public charger, and super-simple payment options. Together with ChargePoint, we are providing a class-leading public charging option for Fisker owners at delivery,” Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said.
“ChargePoint is a leading charging network in North America, and their commitment to sustainable mobility makes the partnership a perfect fit for our customers and our business.”
Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint, said: “Fisker, as a born electric car company without the constraints of the fossil fuel era, continues to push the envelope of design.”
The ChargePoint network will be available to Fisker Ocean owners starting with vehicle deliveries in the US and Canada. Fisker Ocean drivers can locate ChargePoint and roaming partner charging stations within the Fisker Ocean’s navigation system and through the ChargePoint mobile app. At launch, drivers can use the App and the Fisker Ocean’s central touchscreen to search for and navigate to charging stations, filter search for DC fast charge locations, do basic EV route planning, and calculate arrival times at charging stops.
