The first Veefil fast charger for electric vehicles (EV) to be installed in New Zealand, designed and manufactured by Australian company 7335 Tritium, will be operational for public use from 30 October. Located in the town of Kaiwaka, situated between Auckland and Northland, this represents the launch of Phase 1 of a three-year project by ChargeNet to create the country’s first fast-charging network.
Installed in the car parking area of a supermarket, the Veefil represents the start of a long-held vision by Steve West, ChargeNet’s founder and CEO, to establish the country as a world-class EV nation. Further Veefil units will be deployed in and around other major cities such as Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch.
Tritium has already shipped 23 Veefil fast chargers for the first phase and ChargeNet plans to install 75 fast-charging units in total from Tritium over the next three years.
