Spread across the entire country, each dealership will have its own charging station for the range-extended electric vehicle, as well as new tools for workshop staff. The accreditation process also includes meeting at least the minimum standard for environmentally-friendly processes, covering energy usage, recycling and the reduction of toxic chemical usage.

Holden executive director of sales, marketing and aftersales, John Elsworth, explained: ‘Many Holden dealers already have a strong environmental focus but Volt dealers will also be required to achieve at least a level 2 Green Stamp Plus Accreditation through the VACC Green Stamp programme. 

‘Accreditation assures customers that the dealer takes its environmental responsibility seriously.’
