OCTOPUS Electric Vehicles has agreed a deal with US EV manufacturer Fisker to be one of the first lease providers in the UK to offer a new all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV.
The Fisker Ocean Extreme is the first model launched by Fisker in the UK and has a range of up to 440 miles.
Octopus EV will make the Fisker Ocean Extreme available to its customer base through salary sacrifice, business contract hire and personal leasing.
Fisker drivers will be able to access Octopus Energy’s ‘Intelligent Octopus Go’ tariff, which gives customers six hours of off-peak charging at 7.5p per kWh each day.
The agreement covers an initial fleet of 200 Fisker vehicles, and marks the start of a long-term partnership between Octopus and Fisker.
The US has a long, proud automotive history and so it’s fantastic to see new entrants joining the electric revolution from across the pond. Each new manufacturer and model of electric cars gives drivers more choice, helps drive down costs and gets us closer to making the switch to having fully electric roads. We’ve seen a wonderful response to the Fisker Ocean in test driving, and we’re thrilled to be able to unlock savings for drivers through salary sacrifice.
