🚀 Another milestone for Kwetta! We're thrilled to see our largest install to date come to life at Z Energy NZ Waiwhakaiho in New Plymouth. This site, featuring five 200kW CCS chargers and one 100kW CHAdeMO charger—all with drive-through convenience—is designed to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable EV charging. A big thanks to ElectroNet Group for the stellar design and build, Aurecon for civil design, and Drillco for their expertise. Together, we’re driving the future of electrification in New Zealand. ⚡

We support the rollout of EV charging infrastructure on our network, but in areas of constraint the option to introduce new EV fast chargers requires either increasing grid capacity, which can be achieved by going down the traditional poles and wires route, or deploying non-network solutions.   Read the latest Industry Insight on our website about how we worked with EV charging experts Kwetta on a solution to improve voltage regulation along a feeder in Hauraki District to enable the addition of fast EV chargers at Z Ngātea without compromising the reliability and stability of the existing power supply for existing customers. https://lnkd.in/gp7su6BP James Kilty Chris Taylor Don Elers
