South Hobart Bulk-Buy

Australia’s first electric vehicle bulk-buy
Our inaugural bulk-buy was a partnership with the South Hobart Sustainable Community (SHSC). SHSC is a not-for-profit that has previously delivered solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar hot water bulk-buys to the South Hobart Community, as well as a range of other community ventures. The Bulk-Buy ran from November to December 2019. Picture are members of the SHSC.

Information Sessions
Over 70 people attended our detailed information sessions. Here, Sam Whitehead addresses the virtues of going electric.

Test Drive
All participants were invited to have a test drive of a Nissan leaf. This process demystified the vehicles and shows how effortless electric cars are.

Delivering Electric Cars
In total 24 vehicles were delivered in the South Hobart Bulk-Buy. Customers received clean, green “as new” cars. All cars came with a complementary 10A charger and cars are now being charged off our abundant sunlight and hydro power.
