Evnex chargers are designed and made in New Zealand, with smart features built for Kiwi homes, solar setups and power plans. We connect Tauranga households with local registered electricians for Evnex supply, installation and setup, all certified on completion.
Evnex, based in Christchurch, builds its chargers in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions: 230V supply, Type 2 vehicles, and homes increasingly paired with rooftop solar. Its 7.4kW home charger offers app control, scheduled charging, solar export diversion options and home load balancing on suitable models and setups. For Tauranga owners who like buying local and want support that understands Kiwi power plans and Kiwi housing, Evnex sits on most shortlists alongside Tesla and Wallbox, and it suits a wide range of vehicles beyond any single car brand.
Pricing transparency is a big part of the Evnex appeal. From our research, Evnex has offered fixed installed pricing between $1,835 and $2,385 for its 7.4kW charger, covering standard installation conditions. Fixed pricing removes the guesswork that puts many people off getting quotes, though homes needing long cable runs, trenching or switchboard upgrades may sit outside standard terms, which your installer will explain before work starts. We connect you with Tauranga Evnex installer partners who confirm whether your property fits the standard scope or needs extras.
Installation still follows the same New Zealand rules as every fixed charger: a registered electrician, a dedicated circuit, correct Type B RCD protection in line with SNZ PAS 6011:2023 guidance, testing under load, and a Certificate of Compliance. Evnex units communicate over Wi-Fi and, on many installs, use current monitoring to balance charging against household load and solar generation. Correct setup of those sensors during install is what makes the smart features trustworthy, so commissioning time with the installer is time well spent.
Connect with installers who supply and fit the Evnex 7.4kW Type 2 charger, tethered for grab-and-go convenience at home. The installer confirms standard-scope eligibility, mounting position and cable reach to your charge port, and completes electrical certification as part of the same visit wherever the scope allows.
Evnex systems can monitor total household demand and adjust charging so your main supply is not overloaded when cooking, heating and laundry coincide. Your installer fits and configures the monitoring hardware, sets sensible limits with you, and tests the response so charging slows gracefully rather than tripping breakers.
Where you have rooftop solar, Evnex can be configured to favour surplus generation for the car instead of exporting it for a low feed-in return. The installer aligns charger settings with your inverter arrangement and explains in plain terms when solar charging will and will not cover a full session.
The Evnex app handles scheduling, charging history and cost tracking against your power tariff. During handover your installer helps set off-peak schedules for your Tauranga power plan, enables notifications, and shows you how to override for an immediate charge when travel plans change suddenly.
Evnex chargers are built for New Zealand weather and can be mounted in garages, carports or on exterior walls. Installers confirm fixing, cable entry sealing and a mounting height that keeps the connector accessible but clear of driveway traffic, lawn equipment and curious toddlers at busy family homes.
Because Evnex is a New Zealand company and your installer is a local Tauranga business, faults and questions have a clear path: contact us, we reconnect you with your installer partner, and Evnex product support sits behind them for unit-level issues. Warranty terms come from Evnex and your installer directly.
Tell us your suburb, parking arrangement and switchboard details. Your installer partner confirms whether the researched fixed installed range of $1,835 to $2,385 applies to your standard installation, or whether extras like board work or long runs need pricing separately.
Agree where the unit will live and how the cable route runs. If you have solar or plan to add it, mention this now: sensor placement and charger position are easier to optimise in the first design than to retrofit after walls are closed.
On the day, the electrician installs the dedicated circuit and protection, mounts the charger, fits any load or solar monitoring hardware, and connects the unit. Most standard installs are completed within a single visit of a few hours at typical Tauranga homes.
The charger is connected to your Wi-Fi and Evnex account, load limits are set, and charging is tested with your vehicle. Solar or load balancing behaviour is demonstrated where fitted, so you can see charging respond when household appliances switch on and off.
You receive your Certificate of Compliance and a walkthrough of the app: schedules, history, solar modes and support contacts. If your power plan changes later, settings can be updated in minutes, and your installer partner can help with larger changes like a second charger.
Evnex particularly suits households that want the car to work around the house, not the other way around. Load balancing matters in Tauranga's older suburbs, where 60-amp supplies and busy evening loads are common. Instead of paying for a supply upgrade, the charger watches total demand and eases off while the oven and heat pump run hard, then speeds up again overnight. For many homes in Greerton or the Avenues, that smart behaviour is the difference between a standard install and a much bigger electrical project.
Solar owners are the second natural fit. Bay of Plenty homes generate well through long, bright days, yet many export at midday for a modest feed-in rate while the car sits in the driveway. An Evnex setup configured for solar diversion soaks up that surplus at your retail rate's value instead, effectively turning exported cents into saved petrol dollars at around $3.50 a litre. It will not perform miracles in mid-winter, and your installer will be straight about seasonal limits, but across a Tauranga year the captured surplus adds up.
Finally, Evnex suits mixed-brand households. Because it is a universal Type 2 charger rather than a car-brand accessory, the same unit serves a Leaf today, a Model Y tomorrow and a plug-in hybrid in between. With plug-in vehicles now well past 155,000 nationally and BEV plus PHEV models taking 22.7 percent of new sales in October 2026, flexibility protects your investment as Tauranga driveways electrify one car at a time rather than all at once.
Exporting surplus for a few cents then buying power back at night to charge is a frustrating loop. Correctly configured solar charging breaks it, sending daytime surplus into the battery first and topping up off-peak only when the sun has not done enough.
Charging at full rate while cooking, heating water and running the dryer can exceed older supplies. Evnex load balancing, properly installed and tested, throttles the car automatically during peaks so dinner never plunges the house into darkness or trips the main switch.
Vague estimates make it hard to commit. Evnex's fixed installed pricing approach, between $1,835 and $2,385 for standard 7.4kW installs from our research, gives a firm reference point, with any non-standard extras identified by your installer before work begins, not after.
