Cayenne E-Hybrid owners get 10,000 kms of enviro-friendly electric chargingPorsche pays for green energy

Australia. Porsche Cars Australia (PCA) is reinforcing its commitment to sustainable ‘E Mobility’ by working with Origin Energy to purchase 100 per cent GreenPower accredited renewable energy on behalf of every buyer of a Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.

The upfront green energy purchase by Porsche and Origin will ensure for every buyer and current owner of a Cayenne S E-Hybrid that the first 10,000 kms of charged electric driving is offset by accredited renewable energy producing zero emissions.

Confirmation for Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid owners will come via a Green Energy Certificate in each customer’s ‘Welcome Kit’.

Porsche has selected Origin, Australia’s leading retailer of GreenPower, to partner the programme that will provide Green Energy Certificates to Porsche customers.

Furthermore, all Porsche’s plug-in Hybrid vehicles now come with Porsche branded ChargePoint cards, allowing customers to charge their E-Hybrid vehicles at any of the increasing number of ChargePoint stations throughout Australia.

“Porsche is a world leader in plug-in E-Hybrid technology,” says PCA Managing Director and CEO Sam Curtis.

“Porsche is the only luxury brand to offer three distinctive plug-in Hybrid vehicles (Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Panamera S E-Hybrid and 918 Spyder) across three different model lines, so we are proud of our achievements to date and always look to enhance the ownership experience for our customers.”

Porsche again proved its hybrid technology credentials in June of this year when it won the world’s most challenging endurance race – the 24 Hours of Le Mans – with its hybrid-powered Porsche 919 race car.

Porsche has stated that it will expand its hybrid technology in the future; therefore customers can expect to see more cutting-edge hybrid technology in Porsche road cars.
