ChargeNet FAQs
The ChargeNet network is continually growing. For an up-to-date list of ChargeNet chargers and their locations visit the ChargeNet map.
Your total ChargeNet EV charging sessions for the relevant billing period will be shown on the second page of your EK bill.
If you need specific timings and KWh rate breakdowns of your charges, check your ChargeNet app.
Any positive credit on your ChargeNet account will be used first (and will not be shown on your Electric Kiwi bill). Orders for an RFID fob and charging sessions at private or excluded chargers will be charged directly to your ChargeNet account, rather than your bill with us.
When charging your EV at a ChargeNet point you'll be charged at the ChargeNet rates, rather than your usual rate for electricity usage with Electric Kiwi. The rate for your charge will be shown on the ChargeNet app at the time of charge or at app.charge.net.nz.
If you have any concerns around how your ChargeNet charges are shown on your Electric Kiwi bill, feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd recommend first checking your ChargeNet app for the specific billing period of your Electric Kiwi bill - as any ChargeNet charges outside that period will be included on an earlier or later bill.
In the unlikely event of an emergency like an earthquake, shut down the charger by pushing the red emergency button located at the base of the machine (if it's safe to do so).
ChargeNet machines are designed to shut down if there is significant damage to the charging cables or connectors. Please don't use the emergency button unless there is a genuine emergency.
If you need to reach ChargeNet urgently their 24-hour support centre can be reached on 0800 224 274.
