The Government has announced an investment in more low emission vehicle options for New Zealand, including installing more electric vehicle chargers.
Energy and Resources Minister Dr Megan Woods said on Wednesday they had co-founded another 11 public chargers, many of which are high capacity fast chargers with multiple charging ports.
It will mean there is at least one public EV charger every 75km on most of New Zealand s highways.
A map of the chargers shows that Auckland, by far, has the most (public and private) with 136. Of which, 111 are already installed and 25 are in progress.
