Adelaide’s first owner of an electric ACE Cargo van

Congratulations to our commercial solar consultant, Katherine MacDonald, who this week won a competition that will see her become the first South Australian owner of an electric ACE Cargo van.
The company behind what will be Australia’s first light commercial electric vehicle, ACE-EV (Australian Clean Energy – Electric Vehicles), will work with Adelaide’s Aldom Motor Body Builders to build up to 15,000 vehicles a year by 2025; with up to half of the parts sourced locally.
According to their website, the ACE Cargo is so energy efficient that it will lower running costs by up to 85% (Electric at $1.80 / 50km vs petrol average of $9 / 50km) and a company’s fleet greenhouse emissions by over 70% (Source: www.shrinkthatfootprint.com).
