Porsche Jamaica and EV charging provider Evergo Jamaica have partnered to deliver free charging to those who purchase electric and plug-in electric vehicles from the brand.

“We’re pleased to reinforce our commitment to a greener environment by reducing emissions along with offering greater charging solutions to customers. While the Taycan can travel more than 400km on a single charge, which is comfortably from Kingston to Montego Bay with charge to spare, customers will be able to continue enjoying the Porsche Passion even further thanks to these Porsche Destination Chargers throughout Jamaica,” stated Uché McLean, head of business, Porsche Jamaica.

Dr Wayne McKenzie, president and CEO, Evergo Jamaica, welcomed the partnership.

“This alliance aligns perfectly with Evergo’s mission to create a sustainable future through innovative and accessible electric vehicle solutions. We are proud to partner with a forward-thinking brand like Porsche to empower more Jamaicans to experience electric mobility’s environmental and economic benefits. Our expanding network ensures that EV drivers can confidently explore the island, and we remain committed to reaching 100 charging stations by the end of 2024,” he said.

The exclusive partnership will see customers who purchase the all-electric Taycan receive one year, or the equivalent of 10,000 km, of free charging on Evergo charging stations island-wide. For the plug-in hybrid models, Panamera or Cayenne, customers will enjoy one year, or up to 4,000 km of free charging.

Evergo has commissioned 68 charging stations across the island, conveniently placed at shopping centres, supermarkets, and restaurants. Four Evergo locations were commissioned as Porsche Evergo Destination Chargers in 2023. They are Murray’s Fish and Jerk Hut in Clarendon; Bayshore Plaza in Portland; LFA Country Store in Llandovery, St Ann; and JamGas Convenience Store in Mandeville.

McLean added that this strategic partnership demonstrates the push for e-mobility on the part of both companies.

“Having successfully launched the first all-electric Porsche Taycan last year, it’s another electrifying year ahead for Porsche Jamaica as we’ll be launching the first all-electric SUV, the all-electric Macan, the new all-electric Taycan, along with the all-new Panamera 4S E-Hybrid,” said McLean.
