Green challenge for Internode

Science - Energy

Internode says the links between the company and the Global Green Challenge are strengthened by the fact that Hackett “passionately believes in the viability and value of electric vehicles,” with a company spokesperson citing his recent purchase of the Tesla Roadster, “the world’s first commercially available electric sports cars”.

Hackett says he brought the first roadster to Australia to complement Internode’s green initiatives, and he says “the point of the exercise is to demonstrate that it is possible to be both green and high performance: like a Roadster – and indeed, like Internode.”

Internode’s Tesla Roadster will join 20 alternative energy vehicles ranging from pure electric through to hybrid, low emission, alternative fuel, and ultra-efficient diesel machines that will compete under regulations set by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) and the international sporting authority, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

Internode says the event will also feature some 40-plus solar vehicles that have been the pioneers in developing technology in relation to battery efficiency, electric motor design and low rolling resistance tyres.
