The numbers
100,323 — EVs registered in New Zealand in early 2026, up 96.4% year on year.
~1,800 — public charge points available today, among the lowest per-EV ratios in the OECD.
10,000 — charge points targeted by 2030; the network must roughly 5× to get there.
94.5% — share of NZ electricity from renewables in the March 2026 quarter.
Days vs years — time to deploy a FireHorse system versus a grid-connected fixed charger.
Why the gap keeps widening
Vehicles can be ordered and delivered in weeks. Grid-connected charging infrastructure takes months to years. That mismatch is the gap — and it grows every quarter that EV registrations climb faster than fixed charging can be built.
Mobile and modular charging closes the gap because it is decoupled from the grid queue: capacity arrives when the vehicles do.
