Grosvenor Place emission reduction offer with Ohmie GO
Sydney’s landmark modernist office tower Grosvenor Place has always been ahead of its time and from next month the building’s tenants will be offered a first in a premium commercial building located in Sydney’s CBD – an emissions free travel option with a Tesla available exclusively for tenants.
Announcing a new partnership with Ohmie Go from February 2022, Grosvenor Place tenants can exclusively access the Tesla Model 3 SR Plus via their phone app and pick-up in the vehicle from its top floor parking bay to silently spin off to a meeting or take it away for a road-tripping weekend.
"The fully flexible offer, from as low as $15 an hour to under $200 for the weekend, will create an added incentive to head back to the office," according to the building’s Executive Director John Derrick
He says the Grosvenor Place tenants are the perfect fit for the Ohmie GO Tesla with their desire for premium and aspirational offers and their environmental and sustainably focused values. He said the partnership would add to the building’s impressive ESG performance where sustainability is a priority from building infrastructure made from the recycled Simply Cups scheme they support and the first waste food dehydrator installed in any office tower in the country.
He said tenants could now fully exercise their own environmental standards by cycling into the office to take advantage of the building’s 5 Star end of trip facilities and first-rate bike parking and servicing station, then swap into the emission free Tesla for a meeting trip.
“The electrification transport revolution is coming and we intend to be at the forefront with this offer and our own provision of recharging bays to be able to quickly scale up to meet demand,” Derrick said
Ohmie GO Head of Growth Max Millett said they were impressed how much the management and community at Grosvenor Place really act on their sustainability efforts throughout the building and Ohmie GO is excited for how this opportunity will be received.

The Electric Mobility Platform for Buildings
We've worked tirelessly with developers, earning the trust of the largest players in the property industry. Today, our solutions can be found in some of the most progressive buildings in Australia. Ohmie GO has always believed in offering more than just a service; we provide an end-to-end managed e-mobility platform for building residents. Our journey began in 2018 with exclusive on-demand access to shared electric vehicles, conveniently located in building carparks. In 2022, we expanded our offerings to include sought-after shared micro-mobility solutions, such as e-bikes and e-scooters. Now, we're taking the next logical step: removing the complexity and simplifying the process for buildings to deliver and scale world-class EV charging solutions without compromising the resident experience.
Ohmie GO is the first end-to-end electric mobility platform for buildings, designed as a modular, mix-and-match solution. This flexibility allows buildings to customise their solutions to meet specific needs, eliminating the need for separate providers and multiple apps for different services. We offer all electric mobility solutions in a single hub, delivering a seamless experience for users.
Introducing: Smart EV Charging
We're introducing two end-to-end managed smart EV charging solutions: "OUR Charger," a shared charger located in the building for resident use, and "MY Charger," a private charger situated in an individual resident's parking bay.
Both charging solutions include ongoing service and maintenance, charging history, payment processing, and much more. We spent time developing a resident experience that is consistent across all our e-mobility solutions, and unique to in-building charging. A building's electric mobility hub is available to residents via the Ohmie GO app. Here, they can book and access all their solutions, including charging, with the touch of a button. The only difference is that "MY Charger" appears exclusively in an individual resident's Ohmie GO app and is not visible to other residents.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Smart Energy Management: Install more EV chargers that intelligently share power to avoid costly upgrades and get the best charging experience.
- Billing & Payment: Easily allocate energy costs to residents for vehicle charging and provide access to usage history and data.
- Designed to Scale: Deploy a solution which reduces costly building upgrades in the future and provides a seamless experience for residents.
- NCC Compliant: Our solutions help buildings to meet the current NCC (National Construction Code) compliance forEV charging in Australia.
We're proud to announce that both "OUR Chargers" and"MY Chargers" are operational across several buildings in our partner portfolio. We’ll be releasing individual blog articles on a few of them in the coming weeks.

Why your next apartment might come with an EV included in the deal
It started with a simple yet somewhat challenging brief, set by our CEO, to create the best shared eBike experience in the world. This means taking a wholistic view of the experience including the eBikes, the docking and charging system and the end to end app UX.
Partnering with Dutch-Australian eBike brand Lekker gave us the perfect e-bikes to fit our needs, cool, sophisticated and high quality. On the other hand, our team searched the world for a docking solution that also met our needs but simply couldn’t find anything that fit with our vision from a design, functionality and product quality point of view.
What this meant was that if we wanted the best solution in the world our engineering team would need to design, develop and build a solution ourselves. So our team set to work on a docking and charging solution that is simple, beautiful and left users with an outstanding experience, just as we have with our market leading Ohmie GO shared EV user experience.
Our design mission
Bike docking systems usually exist simply for functionality, without regard for design or aesthetics. The aim was to create a product which would be not only a technology leading solution but also visually appealing, from an industrial design point of view, so it could be placed in locations like hotel and premium building foyers.
Founder and CEO, Kyle Bolto said the team spent countless hours and effort obsessing over the details of the docking solution in order to get it right.
“In the same way that household names like Apple and Tesla differentiate their products through both technology and design, we set out to create a step change in design and style for an electric bike docking solution. We’ve named it the eDock,” - explained Kyle
“We thought long and hard about how an e-bike user on our platform would interact with our eDock from an interface point of view. Utilising instructive LED lights integrated into the eDock in conjunction with the Ohmie GO app to help guide users through each step of booking became a key design feature. From the moment you book an eBike on the app, you're met with design components that take you through the experience, with lights flashing when you first book the bike, to a pulsing green light when it’s time to pull the bike out,” - said Kyle
The final product
We set out to create a product which our large global realestate and hotel clients would be proud to feature in the foyer of their gorgeous buildings. In the eDock we have created a solution that is not only state of the art technology but also visually striking, yet maintains a beautiful end-to-end flow with users.
“We know users resonate with products that are not only functional but beautiful, why would shared e-bikes be any different?" - said Kyle
We’re excited to announce that some of our clients have already designed in our new automated electric bike docking and charging solution, eDock, and will be installed and initially offered with Lekker eBikes in some of the most amazing buildings across Australia in 2023.
