What would you do to get unlimited fuel for
just $365 a year, or $1 a day? Would it make
you buy an electric car? Because that’s
the only way you will be able to achieve it.
Power company AGL Energy has announced
a plan that will allow owners of electriccars such as the Tesla Model S and BMW
i3 to have unlimited charging for just $1 a
day. All you need is a smart meter, and an
electric car. AGL will even hook you up with
a home charging station if you don’t have
one already.
