Electric Vehicle Sales Surge

Electric Vehicle Sales Surge – Is It Time to Install Home Charging?

10 April 2026

Electric vehicle (EV) ownership is on the rise across New Zealand, with sales increasing as fuel prices and uncertainty around petrol continue to impact households.

In March, EVs made up 16% of all new vehicle registrations, the highest level seen since government rebates ended. The shift towards electric is well underway.


Why More Auckland Homes Are Installing EV Chargers

We have seen a significant increase in demand for home EV charging solutions throughout March, and expect this trend to continue into April and beyond.

Charging your EV at home is not only the most convenient option, it is also the most cost-effective.

With the right power plan, you could be paying as little as 15% of the cost of public charging. We can also guide you on how to achieve up to 150 km of driving range for free, up to five days per week, depending on your setup.
