The GBCA welcomes Ohmie GO
Ohmie GO has become the first electric-mobility and technology start-up to become a member of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the peak body for sustainable buildings and communities.
The GBCA is a member-based organisation and its purpose is to lead the sustainable transformation of the built environment. GBCA provides guidance and education on sustainable developments, building and designs and rates the sustainability of buildings, fit-outs and communities through Australia’s largest national, voluntary, holistic rating system – Green Star.
Ohmie GO Founder and CEO Kyle Bolto says the GBCA were a “natural fit” for their business, which is disrupting the transport and property industry, by changing the relationship between buildings and mobility. Ohmie GO are installing electric-mobility hubs in developments across Australia, providing tenant-only access to EVs, micro-mobility and EV charging, all in one seamless app.
“Joining the GBCA is a perfect brand alignment for us, as we’re truly passionate about transforming the way we move around our cities, providing greater access to sustainable mobility so no one gets left behind,” - said Kyle
GBCA CEO Davina Rooney said it made sense for businesses to “walk the path of decarbonisation together”.
“Our expectations of the built environment have grown alongside the current health and climate challenges and businesses are increasingly seeking places that are healthy for people and the planet. Electric-mobility and building infrastructure that supports it are part of that future,” - said Davina Rooney
As the leading authority on building sustainability, GBCA has also founded its own Green Star rating system used by developers across Australia as an internationally-recognised sustainability rating and certification system.
“We work with some of Australia’s biggest and most well-known developers who have been awarded Green Star ratings from GBCA, and have Ohmie GO e-mobility vehicles in their buildings, as a part of their sustainability targets,” - said Kyle
“It’s wonderful to be part of the GBCA member portfolio now, as we’ve been committed to this mission for quite some time,” - said Kyle
The GBCA is comprised of approximately 650 member companies which include over 400 small-to-medium enterprises, 81 companies with annual turnover of more than $100 million and 33 companies now listed in the ASX200.
Likewise, its membership base includes major developers, professional services firms, banks, superannuation funds, product manufacturers, retailers, utilities, suppliers, educational institutions, local government and, now, an e-mobility and technology company.
“Ohmie GO is helping investors and businesses meet community expectations and ESG ambitions and GBCA is delighted to engage with diverse members, like Ohmie GO, to drive a healthier, more sustainable future forward,” - said Davina
“If our industries are going to eliminate fossil fuels, tackle climate change, and ensure a healthy Australia for future generations, the decade of decarbonisation - for buildings, mobility and beyond – is now, and collaboration is key to making that happen,” - said Kyle

The Electric Mobility Platform for Buildings
We've worked tirelessly with developers, earning the trust of the largest players in the property industry. Today, our solutions can be found in some of the most progressive buildings in Australia. Ohmie GO has always believed in offering more than just a service; we provide an end-to-end managed e-mobility platform for building residents. Our journey began in 2018 with exclusive on-demand access to shared electric vehicles, conveniently located in building carparks. In 2022, we expanded our offerings to include sought-after shared micro-mobility solutions, such as e-bikes and e-scooters. Now, we're taking the next logical step: removing the complexity and simplifying the process for buildings to deliver and scale world-class EV charging solutions without compromising the resident experience.
Ohmie GO is the first end-to-end electric mobility platform for buildings, designed as a modular, mix-and-match solution. This flexibility allows buildings to customise their solutions to meet specific needs, eliminating the need for separate providers and multiple apps for different services. We offer all electric mobility solutions in a single hub, delivering a seamless experience for users.
Introducing: Smart EV Charging
We're introducing two end-to-end managed smart EV charging solutions: "OUR Charger," a shared charger located in the building for resident use, and "MY Charger," a private charger situated in an individual resident's parking bay.
Both charging solutions include ongoing service and maintenance, charging history, payment processing, and much more. We spent time developing a resident experience that is consistent across all our e-mobility solutions, and unique to in-building charging. A building's electric mobility hub is available to residents via the Ohmie GO app. Here, they can book and access all their solutions, including charging, with the touch of a button. The only difference is that "MY Charger" appears exclusively in an individual resident's Ohmie GO app and is not visible to other residents.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Smart Energy Management: Install more EV chargers that intelligently share power to avoid costly upgrades and get the best charging experience.
- Billing & Payment: Easily allocate energy costs to residents for vehicle charging and provide access to usage history and data.
- Designed to Scale: Deploy a solution which reduces costly building upgrades in the future and provides a seamless experience for residents.
- NCC Compliant: Our solutions help buildings to meet the current NCC (National Construction Code) compliance forEV charging in Australia.
We're proud to announce that both "OUR Chargers" and"MY Chargers" are operational across several buildings in our partner portfolio. We’ll be releasing individual blog articles on a few of them in the coming weeks.

Why your next apartment might come with an EV included in the deal
It started with a simple yet somewhat challenging brief, set by our CEO, to create the best shared eBike experience in the world. This means taking a wholistic view of the experience including the eBikes, the docking and charging system and the end to end app UX.
Partnering with Dutch-Australian eBike brand Lekker gave us the perfect e-bikes to fit our needs, cool, sophisticated and high quality. On the other hand, our team searched the world for a docking solution that also met our needs but simply couldn’t find anything that fit with our vision from a design, functionality and product quality point of view.
What this meant was that if we wanted the best solution in the world our engineering team would need to design, develop and build a solution ourselves. So our team set to work on a docking and charging solution that is simple, beautiful and left users with an outstanding experience, just as we have with our market leading Ohmie GO shared EV user experience.
Our design mission
Bike docking systems usually exist simply for functionality, without regard for design or aesthetics. The aim was to create a product which would be not only a technology leading solution but also visually appealing, from an industrial design point of view, so it could be placed in locations like hotel and premium building foyers.
Founder and CEO, Kyle Bolto said the team spent countless hours and effort obsessing over the details of the docking solution in order to get it right.
“In the same way that household names like Apple and Tesla differentiate their products through both technology and design, we set out to create a step change in design and style for an electric bike docking solution. We’ve named it the eDock,” - explained Kyle
“We thought long and hard about how an e-bike user on our platform would interact with our eDock from an interface point of view. Utilising instructive LED lights integrated into the eDock in conjunction with the Ohmie GO app to help guide users through each step of booking became a key design feature. From the moment you book an eBike on the app, you're met with design components that take you through the experience, with lights flashing when you first book the bike, to a pulsing green light when it’s time to pull the bike out,” - said Kyle
The final product
We set out to create a product which our large global realestate and hotel clients would be proud to feature in the foyer of their gorgeous buildings. In the eDock we have created a solution that is not only state of the art technology but also visually striking, yet maintains a beautiful end-to-end flow with users.
“We know users resonate with products that are not only functional but beautiful, why would shared e-bikes be any different?" - said Kyle
We’re excited to announce that some of our clients have already designed in our new automated electric bike docking and charging solution, eDock, and will be installed and initially offered with Lekker eBikes in some of the most amazing buildings across Australia in 2023.
