EV charging roaming trial set to commence in 2024

We’ve teamed our EV charging platform, OpenLoop, up with two other Kiwi EV charging providers, ChargeNet and Z Energy (Z), to launch an EV charging roaming trial, with Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) support.

The project aims to develop and trial EV-roaming capability between our EV charging networks, enabling EV drivers to charge at any of three networks from their choice of account – making it easier to charge your EV – no matter where you are.

The project aims to accelerate New Zealand’s transition to a more sustainable, electrified transportation system.

The trial demonstrates a shared commitment to sustainable transportation and the transition to a low-carbon future. By embracing innovative technologies and collaboration, we aim to further progress the evolution of New Zealand’s charging infrastructure, supporting the Government’s renewable energy goals and decarbonisation efforts.
