Köpare av elbilen Uniti får gratis hemmaladdning i fem år

Och elen ska komma från solenergi

Den svenska elbilstillverkaren Uniti och E.ON har inlett ett samarbete som innebär att alla som köper en Uniti i Sverige kommer att få fem års gratis hemmaladdning av bilen. Det garanteras även att den elen endast kommer från solenergi. Tobias Ekman som är Innovation Manager hos Uniti säger följande:

"This is also a new approach. We know that most of the charging, especially for these types of cars, will take place at home. These kinds of solutions are therefore particularly sustainable."

Karin Waldén som är Business Development Manager för E.ON eMobility Nordic säger:

"This partnership is entirely in line with our profile: New thinking and renewable energy."

Uniti kommer att presentera sin nya produktlinje den 7 december. En liveström av eventet kommer att finnas här. För tillfället ska man ha fått in nästa 1 000 stycken förhandsbeställningar på bilen och de första leveranserna väntas ske någon gång 2019.

Pressmeddelande

The Swedish automotive manufacturer Uniti partners with E.ON with a unique benefit for their Swedish customers: With the purchase of a Uniti car in Sweden, E.ON customers receive five years worth of energy for charging their car at home, and the electricity is guaranteed to be sourced from solar cells.

At Uniti, the issue of sustainability is an important one. It is not just about developing a vehicle that is electric and the types of materials used in the production process – the source of the energy used for charging is just as important, the entire product life cycle must be sustainable. ”This is also a new approach. We know that most of the charging, especially for these types of cars, will take place at home. These kinds of solutions are therefore particularly sustainable", says Tobias Ekman, Innovation Manager at Uniti.

Uniti launches the new product line in their Swedish production facility on the 7th of December. The event includes more than two thousand guests and exhibitions from partner companies, and is their first annual product launch event. Please find more information and a live stream of the event here.

The Swedish company has already received close to 1000 pre-orders through a convenient online pre-order process, with a refundable deposit of €149 on their website. First deliveries are expected in 2019, but this is the chance for people to join the queue to be the first to test-drive and own Sweden’s new electric car.

Using a human-centric approach, Uniti’s design focuses on the driver’s needs, and may come to change the view of what a car is. "Today, there are many new possibilities. The car and the driving experience has been digitalized in order to increase safety, comfort and driving pleasure while minimizing environmental impact,” explains Ekman.

"This partnership is entirely in line with our profile: New thinking and renewable energy," says Karin Waldén, Business Development Manager E.ON eMobility Nordic.

Journalists are invited to attend the Media Day at Uniti’s U17 launch event on Dec 7 that includes a press conference with Lewis Horne, CEO Uniti, and Michael Molitor, Uniti Chairman and climate change academic. Please find all information and rsvp here.
