        OVERVIEW

        Range and charging made simple

        Charging an electrified vehicle is more straightforward than many people expect. Whether you drive a Plug‑in Hybrid (PHEV) or a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), charging can fit around everyday life, at home, at work, or while you’re out and about.

        Understanding how far you’ll go and when you’ll need to charge is key to feeling confident with electrified driving.

        Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)

        A Battery Electric Vehicle runs solely on electricity, stored in a battery that you recharge at home, at work, or at public chargers, making understanding charging a key part of everyday driving.

        A Plug‑in Hybrid Electric Vehicle uses a combination of electric power and petrol, allowing you to charge the battery for electric driving while still having the flexibility of a petrol engine for longer trips.

        Your charging options, explained.

        Charging an electrified vehicle is easier than many people expect, and quickly becomes part of your regular routine. Whether you’re at home or out and about, there are simple, flexible ways to keep your vehicle charged throughout the day.

        Home charging

        Charging at home is easy and fits naturally into everyday life. You can plug your PHEV or BEV into a standard household wall socket or choose a professionally installed wall‑mounted charger for faster, more convenient charging.

        Wall charging

        Wall charging offers a faster, more convenient home solution. Installed in your garage or driveway, it reduces charging time and makes everyday charging simple and reliable. It’s a popular choice for households wanting added convenience.

        Public charging: AC and DC explained

        • AC charging (for everyday charging) 

        AC charging supports convenient top-ups while you’re out and about. You can often find AC chargers at places like shopping centres, workplaces and public car parks, making it easy to charge while you go about your day.

        • DC fast charging (for on-the-go and longer trips) 

        DC fast charging supports charging on the go and longer journeys. With over 1,000 public fast chargers across New Zealand, you’ll find them along key travel routes and in convenient locations, making it easy to recharge when you need to go further.
