Meridian flying high

Meridian have built on the Old Vector/Chargenet site at Auckland airport, giving a considerable boost to the Airport infrastructure and well positioned for those needing a top up when collecting/dropping off passengers for Domestic and International flights.         

“As New Zealand’s largest city and the leader in EV adoption, Auckland is the ideal place for us to launch Meridian’s first fast-charging hub,” says Joanna Yip, Meridian Public Charging Product Manager.

“Auckland Airport is a high-traffic gateway for both locals and international visitors, so it’s the perfect location to showcase our commitment to decarbonisation and driver-centric design”

The new hub is a considerable step up from the previous 2 x 50 kW chargers now offering 5 x DC fast chargers (up to 160kW), each with two charge points to ensure 10 vehicles can charge at once.

The hub also has 2 chargers designed and prioritised for drivers with greater accessibility needs accommodating wheelchair users with sufficient space to navigate around the vehicle and charger and feature an adjustable user screen to suit various heights.

Also provided is a drive-through charger for EVs towing trailers, boats or caravans.

CCS and Chademo connectors provide support for most  EV models.
