Paul O’Connor’s OEM Audio supplies model ranges for new and used car dealerships throughout Australasia.

OEM Audio makes cables for electric vehicles.It also produces type two and type one EV leads so owners can charge their EVs from a public station.

“It’s rapidly becoming a popular product,” O’Connor says.

“With positive environmental, financial and convenience reasons, it’s the obvious way forward.”

Since 2016, OEM Audio have been supplying equipment for electric vehicles in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific.

Over 50 used dealerships throughout New Zealand purchase OEM Audio EV equipment.

He says a lot of people are trying to enter the EV market but don’t have any background.

“They seem to think that anything will work, we have tried a lot of gear and some will burn your house down.

“All of our products are TUV approved, which is the most reputable testing organisation in the world.

We spent the money to get TUV approved, and our products meet the latest International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard.We are not some guy in his garage hoping for the best.”

OEM have made a long-term commitment to the EV industry.

OEM Audio has a range of WallChargers coming, with some even having a Wifi app that allows you to see and set the time, speed, and kilowatt on the charge.

Around 75% of O’Connor’s products go to car dealers, both new and used dealers, for different projects.

“There is a good trade allowance.The margin sold is good, even for its low retail price, there’s a margin in the product.”

The company is happy to deal with customers who call the 0508 free phone number.

English manuals and YouTube channels are also available for the customer.

O’Connor says they are happy to take the customers’ calls, so dealers don’t have to handle all the queries.

In the next few days, dealers will be able to log in from the OEM Audio website and buy straight from there.

Products will arrive the next day provided the order is done by 5.30pm that evening.

OEM Audio is supported by two technicians, Kyle and Stu, who O’Connor says are two of the best audio technicians in New Zealand.
