Introducing the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ Range
The ‘Digital HQC’ model has been a faithful workforce of the GM Electric Range for many years but in 2025 the HQC will be gradually replaced with the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ Range. The specifications and prices will remain the same, with the only change being cosmetic. Both the ‘Digital HQC’ and ‘Premium Plus HQC’ range already include:
- A sophisticated LCD Display, and
- Lithium Battery Charging capability via CAN-BUS communication.
For the time being we are continuing to supply HQC models. We will update our website on a product-by-product-basis when the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ range is available in Australia.
