Electric vehicle infrastructure leader Better Place has installed an EV charge point at Canberra's Novotel hotel. Guests can charge their car for free and visitors can also access free charging via paid valet parking at the hotel.
The Novotel's Neil Paterson said installing charge spots for electric cars was a key part of the Novotel's commitment to customer service and sustainability.
"We're proud to be one of the first hotels in Canberra to offer this leading-edge service for guests and visitors.
"Electric cars are clearly a part of the driving future, so it was important to us that we put the infrastructure in place to make the Novotel a destination address for electric car drivers," he said.
The newly installed charge spots are located in the underground car park and can support up to four electric cars at once.
The installation is part of the public network of charge spots Better Place is deploying in the ACT region.
The charge spots deliver between 20 and 25km of range per hour of charging. They are compatible with the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Nissan Leaf, Renault Fluence ZE and the Holden Volt which will be released in Australia later this year.
Better Place now has a total of 14 charge spots installed in and around Canberra with 94 charge spots installed nationally.
