Video: Buy NZ Made showcases Evnex

New Zealand smart EV charging manufacturer Evnex is being nationally recognised for its future-proofing technology that can help spread EV charging load on the power grid and supports EV drivers to use the most efficient and sustainable power possible.

Buy NZ Made is showcasing the Christchurch company during NZ Made Day on November 21 for its commitment to providing a new era of charging through its Kiwi-made smart chargers, of which 2500 have now been installed in residential and commercial locations around New Zealand and Australia.

Evnex smart chargers offer EV owners the option to utilise renewable energy where available, with leading in-app features supporting EVs to be charged at the cheapest and most efficient times, with a “plug in and forget” approach.

The company has also recently introduced its Electricity Pricing tool, designed to make it as simple as possible for EV owners to manage and track charging costs and gain an accurate picture of in-home charging. 

“We believe EV owners should have the power to minimise the impact on their bills as well as New Zealand’s electricity network and to use renewable energy to charge their cars,” says Evnex founder Ed Harvey.

Harvey says Evnex remains committed to keeping its manufacturing operations onshore, as it’s something that’s important to the company and also supports other local suppliers.

“Our circuit boards are manufactured in Marton, our enclosures are manufactured in Whanganui, and our metalwork and final assembly all happens in Christchurch,” he says.

“Using other local businesses not only helps boost the economy, but also reduces the environmental impact of the production process.”

Buy NZ Made Executive Director Dane Ambler says Evnex is being showcased due to its strong values and transparency in manufacturing.

 Evnex is the only EV charger manufacturer licensed and certified by Buy NZ Made.
