It'll be offering discounted AmpCharge wall boxes for Touareg R buyers, including installation, and 12 months' worth of cheaper public charging at Ampol locations – exactly how much cheaper hasn't been confirmed.
Volkswagen says the home chargers will be available in a range of colours to match its cars, and says owners can use an AR tool to see how a wall box will fit in their garage before an installer arrives.

Also aligned with the cars is the warranty for the wall boxes – they'll be covered for five years.
