Tritium and Jump Charging Partner to Propel EV Charger Deployment in New Zealand
18 4월 2023 - 6:00AM
Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global developer
and manufacturer of direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric
vehicles (EVs), today announced a strategic partnership with Jump
Charging, a green energy charging and fuel infrastructure business,
to expand access to fast charging infrastructure in New Zealand.
The rate of EV adoption continues to grow in New
Zealand and charging infrastructure will need to grow to meet the
increasing demand. Nearly 20% of the 100,000 light vehicles sold in
2022 in New Zealand were battery electric, and the country is on
its way to achieving its 2050 net-zero emissions reduction goals.
However, as of December 2022, there were only approximately 350
public charging stations in the country, or just one charging
station for every 200 EVs registered in New Zealand. To address
this gap, the New Zealand government has plans to expand on its
initial vision for nationwide coverage of DC fast chargers every 75
kilometres along state highways. As part of this investment, the
government is prioritising high-powered public charging hubs to
match the rapidly growing number and increased requirements of
electric vehicles and their drivers.
Jump Charging, a new Tritium distributor and
service partner for New Zealand, is committed to further expanding
access to publicly available charging in the country to accelerate
decarbonisation of the transport sector. The company is developing
their network with Tritium fast chargers at its core, and is
planning to implement an initial 20 fast charging hubs at key
locations followed by the rapid deployment of further sites
nationwide.
Tritium CEO Jane Hunter emphasised that EV charging
installation, maintenance, and education are crucial steps to
helping New Zealand reach its 2050 net-zero emissions reduction
goals, which were announced last year in the country’s first
Emissions Reduction Plan.
“Innovation is critical to accelerating the transition to a
low-carbon future. The skid-mounted solution for rapid installation
of fast charging stations developed by Jump Charging is a prime
example of the innovative technology solutions needed to creatively
address the demand for EV charging infrastructure in New Zealand,”
said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “By providing cutting-edge charging
technology as well as maintenance, training, and support for our
partners, we are committed to building a comprehensive and reliable
EV charging ecosystem that will help New Zealand reach its net-zero
emissions reduction goals." |
Focused on the development of a reliable,
purpose-built charging network of strategically located
infrastructure, Jump Charging’s mantra of “fast, accessible, and
visible” illustrates their commitment to ensuring all electric
vehicle drivers have adequate access to charging. The company
offers its customers flexible purchase, lease, and partnership
models, and they manage and maintain all sites on the Jump Charging
network to ensure a reliable and consistent level of service for
all electric vehicles. The first of these sites is an EV charging
hub at the new Agritech Business Park in Rakaia, Canterbury. The
first stage of this project will include two of Tritium’s modular
150kW fast chargers, each capable of simultaneous vehicle charging
to service both passenger and fleet vehicles on site.
In addition to expanding their network, Jump
Charging is creating innovative solutions to solve charging demand
issues. The company has created a portable, skid-mounted solution
for charging station installation, that is designed to be used with
Tritium’s 75kW award-winning modular fast charger, enabling swift
deployment in service locations experiencing increases in EV
charging demand due to seasonality, specialist events, construction
projects, or emergency situations. Adding to its flexibility, the
design enables connection to either a standard 400V system or
alternatively a high voltage 11kV supply through the inclusion of
an onboard transformer.
Jump Charging director Alex Watson commented, “At Jump Charging,
our goal is to move New Zealand away from fossil fuels, so choosing
a proven EV fast charging partner we could rely on was crucial. We
are proud to partner with Tritium, as we know that their DC fast
chargers are world-leading in both quality and reliability. In
addition, their training program has provided our team with
exceptional knowledge to confidently manage and service our
customers.” |
Jump Charging is an authorised Tritium service
agent, allowing the Jump Charging team to provide specialist EV
support services to its customers and across its own national
network.
The Low Emission Transport Fund (LETF),
administered by the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority
(EECA), provided co-funding for both the Agritech Business Park EV
charging hub and for the development of the portable, skid-mounted
fast charging solution. The EECA was established under the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Act 2000 to encourage and support
energy efficiency, as well as provide co-funding for technology
development like Jump Charging’s skid-mounted charging station.
