As number of electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads grow, so does the demand on the nationwide network of EV charging infrastructure.
We are working with the private and public sector to ensure the nationwide network of public EV charging infrastructure is aligned, safe and reliable, and meets future needs and demands.
In April 2017, we set a vision for a nationwide coverage of fast/rapid direct current (DC) charging stations every 75kms across our state highways.
Waka Kotahi has established a baseline of existing infrastructure and will actively manage progress towards the targets set down in our vision.
The following maps are a view of the current state of the nationwide network:

Electric vehicle charging stations in the South Island as at 1 November 2024 [PDF, 2.3 MB]
These maps are updated monthly. For the most up to date information view our EV charging station map which uses data from EVRoam, our live database of the nationwide network of publicly accessible chargers.

As New Zealand''s transport sector progresses on its decarbonisation journey, EV uptake is likely to accelerate – and so will the charging infrastructure network.
We are part of a cross-agency working group that is developing a national plan for New Zealand''s public EV charging infrastructure. This plan will provide strategic direction for a short-term action plan and long-term strategy to future-proof the charging network. It will also:

There are three types of EV charging infrastructure: public, commercial, and restricted (or private). The nationwide network consists of public charging infrastructure that meet the following requirements:

To ensure nationwide visibility, all EV charging stations that meet these requirements should be logged with Waka Kotahi. While we recommend automated integration with EVRoam, static data is also accepted.

Increasing the uptake of electric vehicles to support decarbonisation of the transport sector.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are vehicles that run on electricity and which can be plugged in to recharge. They can be powered solely by electric batteries, known as pure electric vehicles, or a combination of batteries and a conventional engine, called plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
The Government is keen to support the uptake of electric vehicles alongside other low-emission forms of transport. Electric vehicles will not only help us to reduce climate damaging emissions but also reduce harmful local air pollution. Supporting the uptake of electric vehicles also supports the Government''s overall drive towards a net-zero emissions economy.
On 6 October 2023, Te Manatū Waka Ministry of Transport released ''Charging our future: National electric vehicle charging strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand 2023–2035''.
The strategy outlines the Government''s long-term strategic vision for a national electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure that can support a growing EV fleet, while helping New Zealand meet its climate commitments.
The strategy was informed by consultation on a draft EV charging strategy in May 2023.
The existing exemption from road user charges has been extended until 31 March 2024, which is around the time we expect the electric vehicles to make up two percent of the fleet. The purpose of the exemption is to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles given our climate change obligations. Increasing the uptake of zero emission vehicles will play an important part in reducing emissions from light vehicles in New Zealand. From 31 March 2024, owners of light electric vehicles will need to pre-purchase road user charges like other road users.
To increase the uptake of electric and low emission vehicles, the Government agreed to introduce the Clean Car Standard – a Co2emissions standard for imported new and used light vehicles.
When the group was established, EVs were in the early phase of adoption. With an increasing number of EVs on our roads and wider work across government to reduce carbon emissions, the group''s focus had become too narrow, and so it was disestablished.
