Chargefox partners with Porsche to offer free charging to owners of the new Porsche Taycan EV models

In case you missed it, Porsche have just launched their Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S Electric Vehicles in Australia.

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Porsche Cars Australia to provide three years’ free, unlimited charging across all Chargefox ultra-rapid charging stations and participating fast charging stations Australia-wide.*

Marty Andrews, Chargefox CEO, said this partnership will drive greater EV adoption in Australia and provide EV drivers with more choice.

“It’s fantastic to see leading car manufacturers bringing new EV models to the Australian market. Our goal has always been to reduce road transport emissions by creating the infrastructure required to help Australia move towards a greener future with more EV’s on the road. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Porsche to offer free charging for drivers of their Taycan models across all Chargefox ultra-rapid charging stations and participating fast charging stations around Australia, and we know that this relationship will help reduce the barriers to EV uptake. ”

Using the Chargefox network is easy for Taycan owners. After registering their vehicle details in the Chargefox app, Taycan owners will have visibility of all of the free charging available to them when using the Chargefox network.

This partnership means Chargefox now provides discounted or free charging sessions to drivers of selected Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Porsche models. These partnerships make purchasing and owning an EV in Australia more affordable.
