Charging Ahead

Vector, in conjunction with Kings Plant Barn Silverdale, is proud to announce the installation of two rapid chargers for electric vehicles at the popular site.

Vector is fully supporting a role in driving the uptake of electric vehicles in Auckland and is delighted to provide this service to customers within the region.

As Vector adds more chargers into Auckland, it is helping to make electric vehicles more accessible and attractive to the public with long term benefits to the environment and much lower running costs for the motorists who switch over.

Vector has now deployed six rapid chargers across Auckland along with six standard chargers.

More deployments at key locations are planned this year.
