Increased from 5km in 2024 to 8km.

The rides are subject to availability and will only be visible for Uber One members who are travelling within an eight kilometre radius of the Melbourne tennis precinct. The rides are capped at $100 AUD.

Between 9am and 10pm from Sunday January 12 until Sunday January 26, if a Kia Electric vehicle is available, riders will be able to select that option and ride to their destination, with Kia picking up the cost of the ride for them.

      Third paragraph:

      A fleet of 50 sleek Kia electric vehicles will be deployed during these two weeks…

      There are free trams too, if you're content to travel with others.

      No there’s three cars this time.

    Nice looking car btw

    • Ryk on 11/01/2025 - 10:45

      shame about all the graffiti at the location shoot

      • Gervais fanboy on 11/01/2025 - 10:51

        Really? Most people find them to be quite iconic, although I personally avoid them coz they stink.

      • hardya on 11/01/2025 - 11:46

        Never quite understood how Melbourne made a tourist destination from filthy graffiti-scrawled laneways that stink from rotten garbage and drunken bums pissing in them

        • try2bhelpful on 11/01/2025 - 11:53

          I suspect you don’t actually go down many of them. The very small laneways can be like that but the “touristy” ones are maintained.

    Was waiting for this deal lol. Thanks OP. Used this last year and was really nice.

    Heavy EV promotion = waning demand.

    • Gervais fanboy on 11/01/2025 - 11:35

      It’s the exact opposite actually.

      • 1st-Amendment on 11/01/2025 - 13:36

        It’s the exact opposite actually.

        A more accurate summary would be 'less than expected demand'. If you are selling above your forecast, you don't need to do promos to try and move more stock. I was looking at an EV6 GT recently and they were selling ex-demo's for $40k below RRP. No-one does discounts like that if you are meeting targets.

    2024 World Car of the Year winner.

    A jury of 100 car journalists from 29 countries have handed the Kia EV9 the prestigious 2024 World Car of the Year award. Kia’s battery-electric family SUV was also named best EV in this year’s WCOTY.

    Keen to know what happens to these 50 EV9s after the AusOpen, if anyone knows

    • superm86 on 11/01/2025 - 12:50

      last rider gets to take it home..

      Sold at a discount and use the loss as a tax write-off. Look out for some cheap 'ex-Demo' stock next month.

      Worth noting they're not all EV9's. This post says EV9, but the article says it's all the Kia EV range. Some clever person at Kia found a novel way to use up all that excess stock use it for a tax break and advertising at the same time.

  • Ricketytruck on 11/01/2025 - 13:37

    One of my favourite deals ❤️

  • jumpingwillow on 11/01/2025 - 13:39

    Lol what benefit do you get from posting so many deals

  • bargain_knight on 11/01/2025 - 13:43

    Did anyone get one last year? I tried last year but couldn't see any.

  • love2buy on 11/01/2025 - 13:51

    This is excellent marketing. Evs makes so much sense for rideshare. I"m surprised government haven't mandate rideshare to be ev only. Also evs car carshare would be a good idea as well as they have dedicated parking that could be used for charging.
