Toyota New Zealand has locked in Christchurch-based Evnex as their official EV charger partner.<\/p>\n

Toyota NZ CEO Tatsuya Ishikawa says the tie-up reflects a broader philosophy: \u201cElectrification isn\u2019t just about building great vehicles. It\u2019s about making ownership simple, practical and confidence-inspiring. As we expand our electrified vehicle lineup, we\u2019re equally focused on the ecosystem that supports our customers long after they drive away.\u201d<\/p>\n

He points to Evnex\u2019s nationwide installer network, Kiwi-made hardware, and forward-looking tech roadmap as key drawcards, adding that most EV owners charge at home or work.<\/p>\n

Evnex units also works with single and three-phase setups without needing a switchboard or meter upgrade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Evnex founder and CEO Ed Harvey says the company is \u201cextremely excited to be working with Toyota New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charge testing kicks off with the Hilux BEV Driver Series, running August to November 2026, which puts the new ute in the hands of up to 15 fleet decision-makers. <\/p>\n

Most will run Evnex\u2019s E2 charger, adding up to 50km of range per hour with smart scheduling for off-peak or solar charging.<\/p>\n

Sweetening the deal, Toyota customers get a five-year charger warranty through Evnex \u2014 a year longer than Evnex\u2019s standard four-year cover \u2014 aligning with Toyota\u2019s own extended warranty programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toyota New Zealand has locked in Christchurch-based Evnex as their official EV charger partner.
