Two Tesla 3s will be available to tenants at Sydney’s Rhodes Corporate Park, thanks to a partnership between local electric mobility startup Ohmie Go and Frasers Property Development.
Sydney-based Ohmie Go announced this week that it has provided two Tesla Model 3s exclusively for staff and tenants working in Frasers Property-owned buildings at Rhodes Corporate Park.
Tenants can use the Ohmie Go app to reserve use of one of the two Tesla Model 3s for as long or as long as they want. A phone app developed in partnership with Tesla also allows customers to unlock their vehicles.
Ohmie Go provides the necessary charging facilities for the use of the app, two Teslas, and six EVs, with plans already underway to expand the number of Teslas available to tenants to six.
According to Ohmie Go founder and CEO Kyle Bolto, different Tesla models are planned, depending on the needs of tenants.
“Our solution gives people the opportunity to move away from owning a private car and a busy daily commute to a new age of transportation that includes a combination of walking, public transit and shared electric vehicles. We will provide it,” Bolt said.
Ohmie Go is also reportedly planning to announce a partnership with a leading Dutch e-bike manufacturer, which the company will “design and develop in what it believes to be the next evolution of shared electric mobility. I’m busy with work,” he said.
“The future of transportation is definitely shared electric mobility solutions and we will continue to innovate in this area by leveraging our technology and experience as a market leader,” said Bolt.
