With new models entering the Australasian market – armed with increased battery ranges and significantly faster-charging technologies – now is a good time to capture the opportunities for business and government fleets.
Electric vehicles are quieter, and have fewer or no tailpipe emissions. They contribute towards cleaner air and reduced carbon emissions, especially when charging from solar power or a renewable energy contract.
