ChargeNet, Aotearoa New Zealand’s only nationwide EV-charging network, announced today it is planning to develop or refurbish eight electric vehicle charging sites across New Zealand’s regional centres, as part of its commitment to double its network in the next three years – providing New Zealanders with more than 600 fast DC charging points.
The new ChargeNet sites, a mix of 75kW and 150kW chargers with charging for four vehicles at each site, will be built in Tairua, Waihi, Paeroa and Whakatane on the east coast of the North Island, the southern Wairarapa region of the lower North Island, Blenheim and Motueka in the top of the South Island, and at Cromwell in Central Otago.
The eight new sites will add an additional 32 charging points across 16 charging stations, and are expected to be completed in early- to mid-2024. Alongside the 32 charging points, ChargeNet is also announcing the construction of one of New Zealand’s fastest and largest EV charging hubs, set to be installed at Tauriko, Tauranga.
