Charging Your EV On The Road

There are free and paid charging stations across New Zealand helping to create a hassle-free journey. If you are heading off on a long adventure, whether driving long distances or over several days, just remember to keep an eye on your battery level and plan your trip accordingly. 

Apple Maps or Google Maps are great tools to locate most paid and free charging stations across New Zealand.

At some charging stations, you may need your own account to be set up with the charging provider via their smartphone app. To get you to good stuff quicker, we've included links for some of the most well-known charging provider apps here, along with links to Apple Maps and Google Maps.

If you are unsure which charge plug your vehicle uses, please visit the relevant vehicle operational guide, accessible from the links at the bottom of this page.
