A pair of Tesla 3s will be made available to tenants at the Rhodes Corporate Park in Sydney thanks to a partnership between local electric mobility start-up Ohmie Go and Frasers Property Development.
The Sydney-based Ohmie Go announced this week that it has provided two Tesla Model 3s for the exclusive use of staff and tenants working within the Frasers Property owned buildings at Rhodes Corporate Park.
Tenants will be able to use the Ohmie Go app to book use of one of the two Tesla Model 3s for as little or as long as they need. The phone app also allows customers to unlock the vehicle.
Ohmie Go has provided use of the app, the two Teslas, and the necessary charging facilities for six EVs, with plans already in the works to expand the number of Teslas available to tenants to six.
According to Kyle Bolto, founder and CEO of Ohmie Go, a variety of electric vehicle models are planned, depending on tenant needs.
“Our solution gives people the opportunity to move away from private car ownership, or commuting daily in traffic, to a new era of transport which might include a combination of walking, public transport and shared electric vehicles,” said Bolto.
Ohmie Go is also reportedly planning to announce a partnership with large Dutch e-bike manufacturer, with the company saying they are “busy designing and developing what we are sure is the next evolution of shared electric mobility.”
“The future of transport is undoubtedly shared electric-mobility solutions, and we plan to continue innovating in this space by harnessing our technology and experience as market leaders,” said Bolto.
Already a certified carbon neutral organisation under the Australian government’s Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard, Frasers is working to align its goals with the Science Based Targets initiatives, with the aim of reaching net zero carbon by 2028.
“Our partnership with Ohmie Go enhances the convenience and connectivity we provide our customers in a thoughtful, sustainable way,” said Mark Gleeson, executive manager of investments for Frasers Property Australia.
“It recognises not everyone drives to work, it encourages people to cycle or catch the train, and it means those who do so can still access a car if and when they need, even if they need to take it home for the night. It’s all about the flexibility we provide.”
