We have a new DC charging station at the Dowse. The charger enables fast recharges for electric vehicles, increasing accessibility and turn-over at the site.
While there are now over 100 DC fast chargers across NZ, having two DC charging units at one location is a first in the wider Wellington region. In fact this is a first for any location south of Waiouru!

It operates on a user-pays system and will charge a Nissan Leaf, the most popular EV currently available in NZ, to 80% within approximately 20 minutes.

So if you have an electric vehicle and it’s looking for a bit of a charge, pop in, grab a coffee and check out what’s on at the Dowse.
