To get a greater understanding of customer EV charging behaviour and the network requirements for at-home charging, we ran a 2-year trial of 200 Auckland EV users. Find out what we learned.

Vector and EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) have a shared interest in understanding the impact of energy efficiency and clean energy improvements to housing.

The past decade has seen massive development and investment in renewable energy, centred around solar electricity and large-scale batteries. With the South Pacific region at the forefront of the effects of global warming due to rising sea levels, the need to reduce carbon emissions in the Pacific Islands is very real.
