Fast charging stations

26 Jul 2017

Recently we installed a public electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging station in Tekapo and Twizel, bringing our total number of fast-charging stations to seven across the district. In 2016 we opened South Canterbury’s first public electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging stations in Timaru and Waimate. We have since added to that with fast-chargers now in Fairlie, Geraldine and Temuka.

The Waihao Downs Irrigation Scheme is one of the many rural based projects we have been involved with. The growth in the farming sector and demand for irrigation saw the opening of the Waihao Downs Irrigation Scheme, located about 60km south of Timaru as part of an extension to the Morven Glenavy Ikawai Irrigation scheme.
