GoGet, Bosch and developers launch an EV car share network first for Australia

GoGet, Australia’s first and largest professional car sharing service, in conjunction with developers red.c and Michael L Yates and Co Pty Ltd and leading global supplier of technology and services, Bosch, have launched Australia’s first-ever EV (Electric Vehicle) network and charge station in a private residential development, IT Wire reported.

Bruce Jeffreys, co-founder and director of GoGet, presided over the event, held at the Claremont, a 20-level residential development in South Yarra where the EV and Bosch charging station are housed.  Attendees included John Chandler, Mayor of Stonnington, and representatives from Bosch and the developers. 

“Thanks to the vision of the developers, the expertise of Bosch, and the strength of car share, we have been able to offer a major transport first which plugs residential developments, the community and the latest technology into a really dynamic network. This network offers vehicle choice and solves one of the big transport hurdles that face urban apartment dwellers in Melbourne today – how to have ready access to a vehicle when a parking space doesn’t come with your unit,” Jeffreys said.
