On February 12, 2024, ChargeNet announces the addition of 12 EV-charging stations in Auckland, acquired from Vector. The expansion aims to enhance accessibility and reliability of fast charging for electric vehicle (EV) owners. Effective from February 19, the new stations offer both fast and AC chargers, accessible through a ChargeNet account. These stations operate under a paid usage model, ensuring ongoing maintenance and support for Auckland’s growing EV community. While only specific chargers named in the announcement transfer to ChargeNet, clear signage distinguishes ownership. Vector’s trial period for free public EV charging concludes, signalling a shift in long-term service provision.
