Z Energy and Honda NZ supporting Kiwi customers with new EV charger offer

Z Energy (Z) and Honda New Zealand (Honda) have signed an agreement to form a strategic partnership, helping customers who are choosing to take the next step on their energy transition journey.

Honda recently launched its first fully electric vehicle (EV), the e:N1, in Aotearoa New Zealand. Ahead of the launch, Honda partnered with Z to offer EV customers an exclusive package deal to help with their charger needs.

With the support of Z, customers purchasing the new Honda e:N1 from a Honda store or dealership will be offered a complimentary Evnex E2 Plus home EV charger and reduced installation costs, or a monthly allocation of Z Rewards points and a free hot drink for 12 months redeemable through the Z App.

“We are thrilled to be partnered with Z to provide customers with a great offer. We believe many of our e:N1 customers will be first time EV buyers who are wanting to take that next step on their energy transition journey. It’s important we do what we can to make this as seamless as possible, which is why we have chosen to join forces with Z,” says Carolyn McMahon, Managing Director at Honda New Zealand.

Z is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest transport energy providers. Their growing EV charging network, with 179 charging bays across 54 Z sites from Taipa down to Queenstown, provides increased coverage along some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s major travel routes.

“Z is committed to helping make it easier for Kiwi to access lower emissions transport solutions, such as EVs. One of the ways we have done this is by growing our public EV charging network to provide customers with excellent fast or (where available) ultra-fast charging options at Z sites, where they can also stop and grab a coffee or pick up some essentials while they charge their vehicle,” says Lindis Jones, CEO Z Energy.

“We are proud to be supporting Honda and their customers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Partnerships like this show how businesses can work together to make it simpler for customers looking to make a shift to an EV,” continues Lindis.

Z is also supporting Honda with its own workplace EV charging infrastructure at their owned and operated branches of retail and operational sites, to further support the launch and growth of their electric vehicle products.
