Sydney : US-based driverless car company Tesla along with facilities management firm Spotless Group is set to install thousands of electric car-charging stations across Australia.

The move comes as Spotless tries to re-brand itself as a technology solutions firm for corporate clients, Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday.

Tesla and other battery storage and electric car firms are hoping to install the required infrastructure to allow for a roll-out of their vehicles into the Australian market.

Early estimates suggest over 5 million vehicles will be electric powered in Australia by 2030. IANS
