Have you ever wanted to drive an electric car?
 
There is something truly different about electric vehicles or EV’s. They are quiet, smooth, and incredibly responsive.
 
Best of all they are emission free. Go from A to B guilt free!
 
During the month of November, the Good Car Company is offering electric vehicle test-drives as part of the EV Community Bulk-Buy in partnership with Hepburn Wind.
 
Around 200 participants have registered and over 60 people attended the zoom launch  Thursday 5 November.
 
The Good Car Company exists to decarbonise transport. Hepburn Wind is an internationally recognised leader in community controlled renewable energy.
 
A third of local emissions come from transport so a partnership between Hepburn Wind and the Good Car Company makes good sense.
 
The Community Bulk-Buy joint partnership provides access to affordable EVs.

The much-anticipated partnership was scheduled to commence back in April but  COVID forced a delay. 

Good Car Co-Founder, Anton Vikstrom said, “To test drive an EV, just jump on our website, register for the Hepburn Shire Bulk-Buy and book your COVID-Safe test drive from Creswick or Daylesford”

The Bulk-Buy is a 4-week programme delivered by the Good Car Company that educates participants on electric vehicle ownership, offers COVID-safe test drives and meets weekly, via zoom, to grow the local EV community and share knowledge.

Members of Hepburn Wind and residents of the Hepburn Shire and neighbouring shires of Ballarat, Mount Alexander, Macedon Ranges, Central Goldfields, Pyrenees and Moorabool are eligible to participate.

The Bulk-Buy will play a central role in the Shire’s Hepburn Z-NET initiative, helping residents to cut local transport emissions so the Shire’s can get to zero-net emissions target by 2030. 

Taryn Lane, General Manager of Hepburn Wind and Good Car partner said  “Affordability and access is the key barrier to EV uptake. We want to ensure more people can make the transition to EVs and are excited to partner with the Good Car Company to create a pathway for zero-emissions travel.”
