An all-electric vehicle for Pope Francis

<p>
<strong>California-based Fisker Inc. – creator of sustainable electric vehicles and advanced mobility solutions – is set to develop the first all-electric vehicle for Pope Francis.<br />
</strong><br />
The company revealed Friday that the interior of the Fisker Ocean papal transport will contain a variety of sustainable materials, including carpets made from recycled plastic bottles from the ocean.<br />
<br />
Fisker co-founders, Henrik Fisker and Dr. Geeta Gupta-Fisker, during a private audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican City on Thursday, presented a vision for the design of an all-electric papal transport.<br />
<br />
"I got inspired reading that Pope Francis is very considerate about the environment and the impact of climate change for future generations," says Henrik Fisker.</p>

An all-electric papal transport will provide the first exhaust-free and emissions-free experience for those gathered for blessings by Pope Francis. The company said that spacious interior of the Fisker Ocean SUV supports a large, modern, all-glass cupola, offering accessibility and visibility for Pope Francis to greet the faithful. This specially created Fisker Ocean will be the first all-electric papal transport.<br />
<br />
The company plans to deliver this singular version of the Fisker Ocean to the Pope next year. The Fisker Ocean is projected to start production on November 17, 2022. There are currently more than 16,000 reservation holders for the Ocean, which will offer incredible value and features that compare favorably to competitive EVs across the entire price range.</p>

<br />
The Fisker Ocean starts at $37,499 in the U.S. (excluding applicable subsidies) and €32,000 in Germany (including VAT and applicable subsidies). It will be available in premium versions that include compelling features such as Ultra High Range (approximately 350 miles), all-wheel drive and many more yet to be announced.<br />
<br />
The company says it is on a mission to become the No. 1 e-mobility service provider with the world's most sustainable vehicles. </p>
