Ikea launches zero-emission deliveries in Auckland

Ikea New Zealand has rolled out a zero-emissions home delivery network in Auckland, supported by a new electric vehicle charging system developed in partnership with Jump Charging.

The infrastructure underpins Ikea’s goal of achieving fully electric metro deliveries, with plans to expand the model across New Zealand.

At its Sylvia Park store, Jump Charging has installed two 100kW Kempower DC fast chargers to support electric last-mile delivery vehicles operated by NZ Post and Mainfreight, along with 25 AC chargers for customers and staff.

A further six 100kW DC chargers have been installed at Ikea’s Māngere warehouse to support delivery fleets and inter-site transport.

With the system in place, Ikea is now operating 100% electric metro deliveries across the Auckland region.

Ikea New Zealand zero emissions delivery lead Alexandra Kelly says the charging network is central to the company’s local strategy.

“Zero emission delivery is at the heart of our market entry to New Zealand, so we are incredibly pleased to have collaborated with Jump Charging on the charging infrastructure at our Sylvia Park store and Māngere warehouse to make that a reality.

“Alongside home deliveries, we are proud to be able to offer EV charging to IKEA customers co-workers while they are visiting or working at the Ikea Sylvia Park store; actively supporting their choice for a more sustainable transport option by making charging convenient and accessible.”

Jump Charging chief executive Alex Watson says the project highlights the importance of reliable infrastructure for commercial operations.

“A business’s success is only as good as the reliability of its operations. As a global leader in the transition to zero-emission deliveries Ikea must be able to rely on its partners, and we are honoured that they have placed their trust in Jump Charging.

“Our priority is delivering solutions that are not only designed and built to meet our customers’ needs but work first time every time.”

The project involved integrating charging infrastructure across both a major retail development and a logistics site, with features including intelligent load management to optimise energy use, hardwired connectivity to improve reliability, and centralised safety controls.

Jump Charging has also provided training for delivery partners and will continue to manage and maintain the network, supported by Nova Energy’s Charge Hub system for monitoring and billing.

The Sylvia Park store opened in December 2025, with the charging network designed to support Ikea’s longer-term ambition of a nationwide zero-emissions delivery system.
