Australia’s Build to Rent sector is moving quickly and expectations around how these buildings perform day to day are rising just as fast. The infrastructure installed during development has to keep working once a building moves from delivery to operations. If it doesn’t, the operations team is the one who ends up dealing with the fallout.

We’ve now deployed shared electric vehicles across all of HOME’s BTR communities in Richmond, Southbank, Docklands and Parramatta. This partnership is a special one for us. We've had a relationship with the HOME team since 2022 when they launched their first building. We shared our vision, what we were building and what we wanted to deliver together. It wasn’t the right timing then, but we said we'd stay in touch. We did, and it’s great to now be rolling out a consistent resident experience across their entire BTR portfolio. Their fleet includes Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, BYD Dolphin and Geely EX5, all fully integrated with the Ohmie GO backend so our team can monitor performance, respond quickly to support requests and keep everything running smoothly.
‍

HOME were clear about what they wanted. They needed a solution that worked quietly in the background without adding admin and another thing to manage for their already busy operations and site team. With Ohmie GO, they don’t manage anything. We handle the full stack for them including maintenance, cleaning, insurance, 24/7 support, resident verification, billing, operations and ongoing system management. All they receive is a clean monthly report so they can track utilisation and plan for future expansion, whether that is more shared EVs, shared e-bikes, EV charging or e-bike charging.

A lot of solutions in the market look end-to-end and integrated on the surface, but in reality rely on multiple vendors stitched together. That might work on day one, but it usually leads to long term risk and operational headaches. We built Ohmie GO to avoid that entirely. It is a fully turnkey platform designed specifically for large residential buildings and something we’re genuinely proud of. We’ll be sharing more detail around this over the coming months, but our positioning is resonating well with premium residential and BTR developers, typically the ones who really care about the end outcomes of their residents. We’re also proud to be partnering with a company like HOME who share the same mindset and values around resident experience and long term building performance.

What made our partnership even more exciting was the integration with two different car stacker models across the portfolio. This is the first shared EV and car stacker integration in Australia. We always say the devil is in the details and that proved true here. Making the resident experience feel simple requires a lot of work behind the scenes. Adding in a car stacker flow means you’ve got to have the right team and capabilities to deliver. Kyle, our founder, often calls the result the "EV vending machine". The stackers are integrated with charging and the ability to call the car directly from the car stacker with the Ohmie GO app. It is a very clean, future proof setup that we will continue rolling out across new projects.
‍

We're looking forward to working with HOME as their e-mobility partner to bring the best solution to your residents.

RCP offers access to electric mobility hub

Market leading electric-mobility startupOhmie GO has partnered with Frasers Property Australia, one of Australia’s leading diversified property groups, to provide two Tesla electric vehicles for the exclusive use of staff and tenants at Rhodes Corporate Park.  

The EVs and technology were launched this month at an event taking place at Rhodes Corporate Park.

Kyle Bolto, Founder and CEO of Ohmie GO, said the partnership with Frasers Property is an example of a major property group seeking to implement change at an infrastructural level to impact sustainability

“Tenants and workers at Rhodes Corporate Park have the use of our app, Teslas and charging facilities for use on-demand. Our technology makes the experience as easy as possible for users, you simply open the Ohmie GO app, book a car for as little or as long as you’d like and use your phone to unlock the vehicle in the carpark,” - said Kyle

“Our solution gives people the opportunity to move away from private car ownership, or commuting daily in traffic, to a new era of transport which might include a combination of walking, public transport and shared electric vehicles,” - said Kyle

Mark Gleeson, Executive General Manager Investments, Frasers Property Australia said the new partnership with Ohmie GO enhances the flexibility provided to tenants at Rhodes Corporate Park and their teams.

“Our partnership with Ohmie GO enhances the convenience and connectivity we provide our customers in a thoughtful, sustainable way. It recognises not everyone drives to work, it encourages people to cycle or catch the train, and it means those who do so can still access a car if and when they need, even if they need to take it home for the night. It’s all about the flexibility we provide,” - said Mr Gleeson

Kyle Bolto said the tech startup’s mission is to continue disrupting the transport and property industry by changing the relationship between buildings and mobility.

“The future of transport is undoubtedly shared electric-mobility solutions, and we plan to continue innovating in this space by harnessing our technology and experience as market leaders,” - said Kyle

Ohmie GO has officially partnered with Melbourne-based developers ICD Property on Aspire Melbourne to provide sustainable shared electric-mobility to residents of the 65-storey tower in Melbourne CBD.

The partnership comes off the back of rising fuel prices and record-breaking inflation driving a desire by apartment residents for cost-effective and sustainable amenities.

Rolling out Ohmie GO within Aspire Melbourne marks the second partnership between the two groups after Ohmie GO piloted at ICD Property’s Eq Tower in 2019 with the rollout of two shared Hyundai Kona electric vehicles.

Using the Ohmie GO app, residents are able to securely book an electric vehicle for as low as $16.50 an hour, with Ohmie GO managing the service end-to-end including maintenance, cleaning, insurance, billing, on-demand support, and sustainability reporting. Presenting a modern solution for apartment residents looking to save money whilst not losing out on the lifestyle and convenience of owning a car.

Looking at data from the Motoring Associations of Australia, car ownership in Australia averages $10,000 - $15,000 per annum, with this figure looking to rise in the future with petrol, maintenance, and insurance all facing price hikes. Further research shows, a typical private car sits idle for up to 96% of its lifetime with increased work/study-from-home conditions exacerbating this figure.

For residents of Aspire Melbourne, the offering of Ohmie GO means not needing to spend a dime on fuel, car servicing, or forking out the $40,000 - $120,000 typically charged to purchase a car park within a residential building in Melbourne CBD.

“At ICD Property, we are always focused on delivering amenities to our residents that improve their quality of life. We are also acutely aware of the property industry’s responsibility to move towards greener practices, which we are constantly trying to evolve within our own developments. Ohmie GO marries these two values, providing a highly useful amenity to our residents that will improve their lifestyle, save money, and also push for more sustainable outcomes in our industry. Not to mention helps lower overall greenhouse gases and traffic congestion in our cities,” - says ICD Property’s CEO Matt Khoo

“ICD Property first met with Ohmie GO in 2019, recognising their unique cornerstone in the market of private sustainable transport and offered our Eq. Tower residential development as an opportunity to test-drive their product, piloting their first ever residential shared electric vehicle service. It is amazing to work with them again now years later, seeing how their business has grown and gotten even better and more beneficial to developers and residents,” - continued Khoo

Other green initiatives ICD Property has implemented across their development portfolio include the design of South Australia’s greenest office tower within their Market Square precinct. The 7-storey 20,000 sqm office tower boasts an all-electric build, 6-star Green Star and 5 and 1⁄2-star NABERs credentials, rooftop solar, and award-winning waste management system.

“Since 2016, we’ve been harnessing the latest technology to drive sustainable outcomes for the built form. We recognised early on that one of the significant looming challenges was how does the built form handle the transition into e-Mobility. We’re now working with some of the most forward-thinking players in the property industry, positively impacting buildings, residents, and the planet,” - says Ohmie GO CEO Kyle Bolto

One Queensland building that has partnered with Ohmie GO has already reported offsetting over three tonnes of CO2 emissions within a single month. Empowering residents to choose a greener mode of transport whilst still accessing premium car vehicles and simultaneously saving money.

Ohmie GO is continuing to expand their solution across residential and commercial buildings, including the build to rent space, appealing to financially savvy buyers, as well as the aged-care, retirement, hotel and downsizer communities who benefit from access to a private car without the responsibility of 24/7 ownership.

“Ohmie GO is leading the way in sustainability and e-Mobility technology. They’ve created an innovative service that takes care of everything and easily integrates into a project while providing support on our e-Mobility strategy. We are looking forward to having Teslas on-site for our residents.”

‍

As an industry leader, Aria's commitment to innovation and sustainability is a core value. At The Standard we have adopted Queensland's first car share scheme in a residential building via three electric Tesla vehicles.

This was achieved in partnership with Ohmie GO and is reducing vehicular movements, reliance on and costs of personal car ownership. Charged via by solar panels on the rooftop of The Standard, the vehicles are then hired by residents through a simple to use phone App.

The flexibility of the booking system and availability has translated into 102 bookings and 786 hours of usage. Residents attribute the high demand to the accessibility, flexibility, low-cost and great customer service.

"Our residents couldn’t be happier. Ohmie GO are the best in market for a reason, the devil is in the detail, and is why we have partnered with them to deliver electric mobility across our projects.," said Zeyad Imam, General Manager Aria Living
