The true cost of waiting: grid connection vs mobile charging
Fixed DC ports run ~NZ$18k to $350k+ each before transformer waits of months to years. When mobile rapid charging is the cheaper, faster path.
Read the analysisRenewable-backed mobile rapid charging — delivered to fleet depots, worksites and remote sites across New Zealand. Scroll to unlock the true Power in Motion.
New Zealand's EV fleet is scaling far faster than fixed charging. The result: months-to-years waits for grid connections, six-figure CapEx, and depots that can't electrify on schedule.
FireHorse deploys renewable-backed modular charging systems on-site at commercial depots — fully managed and maintained by our technicians. No grid upgrade, no six-figure build, no downtime. Just power in motion, when and where your fleet needs it.

The nimble unit for depot top-ups and last-mile fleets — booked from your phone, on-site fast.

Bigger battery, longer sessions — for worksites, events and multi-vehicle depots.

Renewable-backed power where there's no connection at all — on schedule, on-site.
The gap between EV growth and charging infrastructure is widening. FireHorse closes it — today.

Watch the energy travel — generated, stored, dispatched and delivered on-site, on schedule.
Renewable electricity generated or procured at operating hubs.
Buffered in stationary battery storage (BESS) at partner depots.
Transferred to mobile charger packs and routed on live telemetry and SLAs.
High-power charging delivered on-site, on schedule, where motion can't stop.
Every deployment is coordinated through software for booking, routing, real-time telemetry and service-level dispatch.
Mobile rapid charging arrives where fixed infrastructure is too slow, too expensive or unavailable — no grid connection required.
100% of delivered energy from on-site solar PV or certified renewable retail — traceable data for your ESG reporting.
Contracted availability guarantees capacity and response time. Battery-buffered resilience means the charge shows up.
Booking, dynamic routing and live telemetry that plug into how your fleet already operates — managed charging, on call.
Replace six-figure CapEx and multi-year projects with a predictable monthly service fee. Scale nationally without rebuilding depots.
We work alongside fixed networks — your safety-valve when depot power hits its limit or the grid runs out of road.
We deploy, monitor and maintain modular charging systems on your premises — leased to your business, run by our technicians. Below public retail on contracted energy, with rapid response when you need it.
| Fixed depot charging | FireHorse | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to deploy | Months to years | Days |
| Upfront cost | ~NZ$18k–$350k+ per DC port | No heavy CapEx |
| Grid connection | Required (transformer waits) | Not required |
| Energy source | Grid mix | 100% renewable-backed |
| Scales to new sites | Rebuild each depot | Move a unit |
