How are Evoke zero emissions?

GreenPower logo

Being fully electric vehicles, the Model S and Model X don’t emit any pollutants into the air. Evoke’s vehicles are also charged using Tesla’s Supercharger network in Sydney, which is carbon offset. On the rare times that we can’t guarantee carbon-neutral transport, we offset any remaining emissions with Greenfleet. When we are not supercharging, we endeavour to use 100% GreenPower.
