Electric Vehicle Rapid Chargers are Changing

Network Updates
We are upgrading our Electric Vehicle chargers in accordance with new government guidelines. 

Over the next few weeks we will be replacing our current CCS Type 1 DC rapid chargers with CCS Type 2 to suit changing EV use and standards.

                          

CCS type 1   CCS type 2  


With European designed and manufactured vehicles leading advances in EV technology and availability, adopting a European standard for the New Zealand charging infrastructure ensures compatibility with the most modern technology.

We’ve tested out the new CCS 2 charger on a new Hyundai Ioniq with good results. 

So far Hobson Street Sub, Newmarket Sub and McDonald’s have been changed with the remaining chargers being upgraded over the next few weeks. 

Any customers that have CCS 1 can still use Vector's standard AC chargers.
