@freeb1e4me: It'll be $200 or about 1500-1900km worth of electricity. Not ground breaking really. It's like throwing a free granny charger. Those deals that include a 7kw charger would be better since you can sell them for more than $200
@adrian2093: Charge fox chargers in my area are either free 7kw shopping mall ones or 50kw ones not near anything so you'd just sit in the car or have a petrol station snack
Going interstate you mainly use tesla/bp/eevie.
Being on a novated lease aswell things can get pretty annoying when you have to make changes, I wouldn't loose sleep if you can't get this.
Out of interest, which novated lease company are you using and what interest rate did you negotiate?
@freeb1e4me: I'm not sure I'll bother cancelling. It would be great if they sort me out over email but it may not be worth the hassle considering I'll likely by granny charging from home anyways.
I ended up with a 9.25% rate with Oly (also forgoing brokerage - not sure the value) which was leagues ahead of what they originally quoted me and better than all initial quotes from other companies. I didn't really bother negotiating with other companies though. Not sure how well my rate compares…
Also, if you're bothered I think you can get better rates by financing through a bank and managing the lease yourself (although I am not sure how this works).
@Flapjack Fire: How long is your lease? I got the same rate for 24 months so roughly in the same ballpark. But my company has an exclusive deal with SG Fleet so I cannot shop around.
Max 7kw AC charging ……… that in itself should be a deal breaker
Why so? Most people live with granny chargers/7kw at home. Anything higher and you need to have 3 phase on your house, now unless you got a pool or industrial equipment, your house wouldn't be wired for that.
7kw would already give about 10% charge per hour give or take depending on battery size, you can fill up the car overnight and not need anything faster.
Public 11kw chargers are pretty rare, they're often porsche/Tesla dealers or hotels.
Most Public is 22kW. because most shopping centre need 3 phase power.
1 car that has a 7kW AC inverter with 77kWh battery
1 car that has a 11kW AC inverter with 77kWh battery
with 3 phase 22kW public charger, the difference in a day is that you can charge an additional car and that's if charger is outputting the correct voltage.
love a saucy chinese EV post but was hoping for more discounts towards EOFY
There are two types of deals:
* 1: deals that make you sing
* 2: deals that make you laugh
This deal makes me cry
Wow this is worth about $200 if that.
Saving $200 is a weird reason for a neg imo.
it's promo to get you to buy a freaking EV
it's not even worth posting, not a "deal"
neg completely warranted, especially when they bait and switch you, free charging for a year my ass!
Misleading title. 350kWh of public charging included with purchase is probably more realistic. Still a bargain compared to what was on offer before. That's about five full 'tanks'
it's an utterly dishonest promo
it's not a bargain it's a dodgy promo
So this is a bit like offering free meals for a year, capped at five bowls of rice?
From their site: "Enjoy 1 Year Free Charging" "you'll receive 1 year of free charging with Chargefox, Australia's largest EV charging network. That's a whole year of worry-free, sustainable driving"
Then in the tiny small print for the first time "DC Charging is capped at 330kWh limit within the 1 year subscription term."
even Geely is offering more - 1000kWh on their preorders
Not much of a deal and it’s presented misleadingly. Capping this at 330kWh means it’s about 7-10 recharges of an EV like the Atto 3, so it’s not 1 year of free charging. It’s 330kWh of free charging.
Worth so little. Especially if you value your time.
Sneaky deal though.
If someone falls for this, they'd also be up replying to emails from Nigerian king.
@freeb1e4me: I'm meaning this deal, has a value of under $200, not worth trying to place a new order just to get this free charging deal etc.
