Australia’s first Tesla taxi/limousine service established in Sydney



Evoke has deployed its first Tesla Model S to compete with corporate and petrol-based hire car services, offering taxi and limousine services in Sydney, including to and from the airport at similar rates, but zero emissions. It is the first zero emissions luxury chauffeur service in Australia which exclusively uses the Tesla Model S.
The brainchild of Mathew and Pia Peterson, the service has one operating Tesla Model S, with another due to start in a few weeks, and more on order. After a “test” phase of around 200 trips since May, the service was officially launched this week.
“With the Model S arriving in Australia late last year, I realised that there was a great opportunity to move towards sustainable hire car transportation, providing customers with a zero emissions journey in comfort and luxury,” Pia says.
