Kia and Uber Australia have partnered once again to offer free rides in electric vehicles during this year’s Australian Open tennis tournament. Between 9:00am and 10:00pm from January 12 until January 26, Uber One members wanting to travel to or from the Melbourne tennis precinct will be able to book complimentary rides under the Kia Electric option, where available. There will be a fleet of 50 Kia EVs, including the EV5, EV6 and EV9 electric SUVs.
“As the major partner of the Australian Open, we’re already moving Grand Slam athletes around in a fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles and we wanted to give spectators the chance to ride to the tennis precinct in the same style, comfort and with the same reduced carbon footprint that the players are,” said Kia Australia CEO Damien Meredith.
