Why Fisker?

Fisker are on a journey to a clean future for all – and we invite you along for the ride. We see a future where skies are blue, the air is pure, and your conscience is clear whenever you go out for a drive in your Fisker EV. Their mission is to create the most sustainable vehicles on Earth.   

They put people and the planet first in everything they do – whether it’s sourcing from responsible suppliers, creating a solar roof, or using upcycled sustainable materials. They use less, use better, and use again. For us, the issue of all the waste coming from switching our future over to an electric one is a big one, and the notion of an EV company that is actually using recycled materials is an incredible solution on this path that we must take if we are going to keep the world habitable. Fisker is showing that you can do just that whilst keeping things beautiful.

Sustainable Materials -

At Fisker, they endeavor to use better, use less and use again. Efficient use of materials and natural resources are paramount to a responsible operations program and supply chain. Materials engineers and designers analyze materials for recycled content, recyclability, and sustainable production quality. This process helps to optimize each material for performance, aesthetics and sustainable attributes. It is an ongoing quest for continual improvement.

Cora’s Take -

We drove our Fisker Ocean from LA to Santa Barbara and hardly used any energy as we were in their energy saving mode, Earth drive. The navigation was seamless and easy to use to get to our destinations knowing exactly where we were going and with what amount of charge left (plenty!. The car was extremely comfortable and it looked great. At the hotels we stayed at, El Encanto and Surfirder, they both had EV charging stations so the car was charged overnight. That being said, with 360 miles of range I never really thought about that as an issue.

Fisker + Solgaard, packing consciously in our EV

We packed with Solgaard suitcases for this trip which has become a firm favourite for sustainable travel, collecting up to 6 lbs of ocean-bound plastic from coastal communities. And their interior Shore-Tex® lining is made from 100% recycled plastic. Along with Fisker, they believe in using recycled materials as much as possible so the synergy was perfect!
