New Zealand fuel distributor Z has announced a free Electric Vehicle (EV) charging day to celebrate its new app integration.
Z will now include the EV charging feature in the main Z app to provide customers with the best user experience possible.
The EV charging section will complement the money-saving tools that Z app users already receive, such as the pay in-app, pay-by-plate, coffee pre-orders, and Sharetank.
The integration of EV charging into the main app will allow Z customers to charge their cars while benefitting from the entire network.
To celebrate the merge, Z will provide free EV charging on the 7th of May. This promotion will be available nationwide at any Z charging station and will encourage EV owners to use the free electricity with the Z app.
Alongside in-app promotions, EV drivers will be able to see the progress of other RVs charging at sites. This will help customers with journey planning, as they can see when a charger is next available.
The 50-dollar pre-authorisation hold for EV charging will also be removed, meaning customers will only be charged for the actual cost of their charging stations.
Multi-car households will also benefit from this integration, with petrol, diesel and EV vehicles now able to use the same shared platform.
The merging of the two apps reflects a broader shift in the automotive industry. Z has conveyed that EVs are no longer a niche market but have become a consumer's mainstream choice.
