Auckland EV charging time limits introduced

A 30-minute time limit for using seven Auckland region EV charging stations has been introduced by Vector this week.

With demand increasing “it’s important everyone has a fair chance to charge up,” Vector says.

The half hour restriction applies at BP Connect Pakuranga, McDonalds Constellation Drive, Auckland Airport Shopping Centre, Takanini Village, New World Kumeu, Kings Plant Barn Silverdale and BP Connect Warkworth.

The Auckland network lines company suggests EV drivers use its Vector EV app to check in if using a charging station, indicated how long you intend to take charging the EV, and leaving a name and phone number so other EV drivers can contact the station user if necessary.

Vector says it monitors charging sites and feedback to ensure fair accessibility.
