For the month of August, energy from every Ampol electric-car charger – at a service station, or on the street – will be sold at a 50 per cent discount.
Fuel giant Ampol is offering a 50 per cent discount on energy from its AmpCharge electric-car charging stations every Tuesday this month.
The deal – available on all four Tuesdays this month, the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th – applies to every AmpCharge public charging station, including U-GO and other third-party sites operated by Ampol.
Customers are not required to input any codes; rather, the deal is applied automatically once the vehicle is connected and the charging session begins.
Ampol AmpCharge stations are generally priced at $0.75/kWh.
It has raised prices in recent years, and is now one of the more expensive charging-station operators; rivals such as Chargefox and Evie vary prices by location, time of day, and charging power, and often undercut the fuel giant by up to 30 cents per kilowatt-hour.
AmpCharge currently operates 208 charging sockets across 73 charging sites in Victoria (16), New South Wales (29), Queensland (16), Western Australia (31), and the ACT (1).
An Ampol spokesperson told Drive this is just a one-month offering to "entice customers to choose AmpCharge as their on-the-go EV charging preference".
