30 May 2024 \u2013\u00a0<\/b>Foodstuffs, the locally owned and operated co-operatives behind New World, PAK\u2019nSAVE and Four Square and ChargeNet, New Zealand’s only nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, have announced plans to build at least 80 new charging sites at Foodstuffs supermarkets across the country over the next four years.<\/p>\n

ChargeNet began working with Foodstuffs back in 2015, installing charging sites at the co-operative’s PAK\u2019nSAVE and New World stores, which currently offer customers access to 128 ChargeNet charging points around the country. To date, the charging points have provided more than 7,731 MWh of energy to customers, enough power for an EV to circumnavigate the earth 850 times.<\/p>\n

Foodstuffs NZ\u2019s Head of Environmental Social Governance, Sandy Botterill, says the partnership reinforces its commitment to providing customers with accessible and convenient charging options: \u201cOur customers are telling us they like the convenience that comes from being able to charge their electric vehicles while doing their shopping, ticking two items off the to-do list in a single trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy partnering with ChargeNet to open at least 80 new charging sites at our stores around the country, we\u2019re also supporting our broader goals around being sustainability leaders through helping reduce carbon emissions and supporting the transition to low emissions transportation options for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

ChargeNet CEO Danusia Wypych says the formal partnership with Foodstuffs NZ will speed up the installation of new chargers, building the number of high-powered charge points available nationally, with all new sites to be powered by Ecotricity\u2019s 100% renewable, Toit\u016b climate-positive certified electricity, generated from wind, hydro, and solar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership demonstrates our and Foodstuffs\u2019 commitment to the absolute best customer experience, and to build even greater convenience and accessibility for all EV drivers. We know that supermarket charging is the top preference for our customers. On top of that, 83% of our customers plan ahead for their journey \u2013 they know exactly which EV charging stations they\u2019ll use,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding more chargers builds confidence in the network for everyday EV drivers, and being able to charge while they\u2019re doing an everyday errand helps to seamlessly integrate EV-charging into their daily lives. By providing more ChargeNet chargers and even more convenient access, we\u2019re helping to get more Kiwi drivers into EVs by building their trust that the EV-charging network can support them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll get up to 80% charge in the half-hour or so it takes them to complete their shopping. The partnership between ChargeNet and Foodstuffs NZ will add significant value to our customers, in providing the \u201ce-forecourt\u201d of the future, where customers stop in to do their weekly shop and tick off their vehicle charge at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
