Z Energy: charging NZ businesses

Z Energy (Z) has launched a new electric vehicle (EV) charge card to replace its existing business charge tags, and a new business charging portal (Business Charging Online) to simplify how businesses manage the charging operations of their EV fleets on the Z public charging network. 

Z charge cards have tap-and-go functionality, are available to all eligible Aotearoa New Zealand business customers, with no upfront costs and simplified monthly billing. Through the new portal, Business Charging Online, customers will have the ability to manage multiple cards in one place.  

Head of Energy Business Solutions at Z, Rebecca Wilson says, “Our focus is on helping make the transition to EVs practical and efficient for our customers by continuing to provide unique solutions to meet the needs of companies of all sizes.” 

“We support thousands of businesses with our Z Business fuel card, and we know how beneficial this product is to our customers, so we have created a similar offer for those business customers with an EV fleet. That’s why we have introduced Business Charging Online alongside the new Z charge card to help simplify monthly reporting and the management of EV cards for those who are managing company fleets,” continues Rebecca.

Business Charging Online gives Z EV business customers the ability to assign a Z charge card to a specific driver or vehicle, order new cards and put a hold on or cancel a card. Supported by a dedicated account manager, the platform provides customer specific insights into their business charging across Z’s public charging network.

As one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest transport energy providers, Z owns and operates 179 public charging bays across 55 Z sites, from Taipa in the upper North Island, down to Queenstown in the lower South Island. Z also supplies and manages charging equipment solutions at customers' workplaces where vehicles may need charging when returning to a depot or workplace.

Z’s continued development of its business charging offer is part of a broader commitment to support customers on their energy transition journeys. 

“We recognise that all businesses are different and our aim is to support our customers - whether they are running a fleet of two or 20 EVs.” Says Rebecca.
