The latest initiative by an energy giant is to get more electric vehicles on the road and offer some Australian customers free power to fuel them.
Origin Energy will launch month-to-month electric car subscriptions and give customers five hours of free electricity.
One of Australia's biggest energy companies will launch month-to-month electric car subscriptions and give customers five hours of free electricity to fuel them in a new push to get more of the next-generation vehicles on the road. Origin e-mobility general manager Chau Le told AAP the company's new services and discounts were designed to help Australians to access electric vehicles, to power them and to pay for them.
The price of electric vehicles starts at more than $40,000 in Australia, with many models costing more than $60,000 and commanding a premium compared to the price of petrol cars. Origin vehicle subscribers, customers who purchased the company's Smart EV Charger, and new Audi electric vehicle buyers would qualify for the plan.
