EV drivers can now confidently travel between Auckland and New Plymouth, with a new 50kW rapid charging station installed at Mokau<\/p>\n

The North Island\u2019s rugged and beautiful West Coast has opened up to EV drivers this summer, with the recent installation of a new rapid charging station at Mokau on State Highway 3 by ChargeNet.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The 50kW rapid charging station was installed late last month and plugs a gap in Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s EV charging network between the two nearest 50kW rapid charging stations at New Plymouth and Te Kuiti. It is the result of inter-agency and business collaboration between Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, ChargeNet and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), with support from Waitomo District Council.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Waka Kotahi Senior Manager Environment and Sustainability Lisa Rossiter says this collaborative approach is key to building out the EV charging infrastructure network nationwide and creating a network that keeps EV drivers connected, wherever they travel.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it is important electric vehicle drivers feel confident to travel across Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s state highways. In April 2017, we set a vision for nationwide coverage of fast charging stations every 75kms across our state highways. The installation at Mokau puts another piece of that puzzle in place.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cTransport makes up about half of Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s carbon emissions, with most of this coming from road transport. New technology, like electric vehicles, is opening up the range of transport choices that people can make. This creates better choices for New Zealanders and contributes to a low-carbon transport future for New Zealand,\u201d Ms Rossiter says.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

ChargeNet Communications Manager Bailey Gorst says the Mokau charging station is another important link in their nationwide network of more than 250 rapid (25-50kW) and hyper-rapid (300kW) charging stations, and is delighted it\u2019s now live and operational in time for summer.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cMokau has been a critical gap in the network. The 50kW DC rapid charging station will make travel on State Highway 3 between Te Kuiti and New Plymouth a lot easier, especially for those with shorter-range EVs, when up to this point, it either wasn\u2019t possible or may have required an overnight stop.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The rapid charging station was jointly funded by ChargeNet and EECA, with funding from round 7 of EECA\u2019s Low Emission Transport Fund (LETF).<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

EECA Transport Portfolio Manager Richard Briggs says EECA is taking the lead in growing the charging network with companies like ChargeNet, and recently completed consultation on EV charging infrastructure to develop a roadmap for the future roll-out of the public EV charging network and to inform future Low Emissions Transport Fund (LETF) rounds.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cContinuing to fill the remaining few gaps in the network will be a priority for the LETF, and we look forward to many more collaborative projects like these, in order to give New Zealanders the confidence that an EV will meet their needs, so we can continue to decarbonise the transport sector.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

The EV charging infrastructure roadmap is part of a cross-agency EV infrastructure plan being led by Ministry of Transport, with support from EECA, Waka Kotahi and Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment.<\/p>\n

With a network of more than 250 rapid (25-50kW) and hyper-rapid (300kW) charging stations, EV drivers can rely on our convenient and reliable\u00a0EV charging network<\/a>, wherever they are in the country.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChargeNet marks 50kW rapid charger at Mokau live | ChargeNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Drive with confidence between Auckland and New Plymouth with the new ChargeNet 50kW rapid charging station at Mokau on State Highway 3.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ChargeNet marks 50kW rapid charger at Mokau live | ChargeNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Drive with confidence between Auckland and New Plymouth with the new ChargeNet 50kW rapid charging station at Mokau on State Highway 3.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ChargeNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/charge.net.nz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-04-19T07:35:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/chargenet-og-image.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ChargeNetNZ\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/\",\"name\":\"ChargeNet marks 50kW rapid charger at Mokau live | ChargeNet\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-24T21:03:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-04-19T07:35:22+00:00\",\"description\":\"Drive with confidence between Auckland and New Plymouth with the new ChargeNet 50kW rapid charging station at Mokau on State Highway 3.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/article\/ev-charger-mokau\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ChargeNet marks 50kW rapid charger at Mokau live\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/chargenet.studiopublica.co.nz\/\",\"name\":\"ChargeNet\",\"description\":\"Plug In.
