EA NZ offers a mix of rapid-fast and ultra-fast EV charging units from 7kW to 360kW. A digital dashboard provides site operators with 24/7 access to charge point data, consumption reporting and management information.
Stewart added: “The direction of travel is firmly towards the electrification of vehicles, and fleet operators are increasingly investing in more sustainable transportation to reflect their own environmental commitments and meet the expectations of their customers.
“Importantly, our asset management model means there’s no risk of ‘stranded’ technology because we own the charge point infrastructure – and there’s also a revenue generation opportunity where the service is provided to contracted providers.”
