They are on a roll

Come to Kawakawa this Sunday, February 7th for the markets, local hospitality, and to welcome the newest electric vehicle fast charging station to be switched on in New Zealand.

Cake, test rides in electric cars and a ribbon cutting by mayor John Carter will be commencing from 10:00am. This station is the continuation of a robust Electric Vehicle loop that will give entry level Electric Vehicles more access to the winterless North.

Kawakawa is the latest town to host a Fast Charging station that can top up an electric vehicle in minutes, and help keep New Zealand charging forward with this exciting new transport technology.

Collaborative efforts between local Northland sustainability advocate, Craig Salmon, and Northpower, as well as local and district councils and the 100% Kiwi owned and operated ChargeNet NZ have ensured the far north town of Kawakawa is following suit with the rest of Northland, and punching well above its weight in the Electric Vehicle stakes.

This is the fourth fast charging station in the ChargeNet NZ network to go live. There are nine more stations up and down the length of New Zealand currently under construction.

“We are extremely pleased with the way things are progressing.” Said ChargeNet Chief Operating Officer Nick Smith. “There will be more than a dozen fast charging station operational by Easter, and we are seeing an impressive increase in the number of Electric Vehicle’s being registered in New Zealand.”

Fast Chargers relieve the range anxiety of Electric Vehicle owners, by giving them confidence that they can recharge in 15 minutes while on the go.
