EV smart charger manufacturer and software developer Evnex has celebrated its 1,000th charger installation in Australia.
The New Zealand-founded company entered the local market in 2023, with its market share growing rapidly after turning its focus to Australia.
“We see a huge opportunity in the Australian market and we have plans to significantly scale up our presence in Australia,” said Evnex Founder and CEO, Ed Harvey.
“It’s an exciting time for us and we’re thrilled to already have more than 1,000 customers in Australia charging cleaner and more affordably by having an Evnex charger.”
The organisation has now installed a total of around 6,000 smart chargers across Australia and New Zealand and is on track to have installed more than 10,000 by early next year.
Australian private equity firm Adamantem Capital invested in the Evnex, which Mr Harvey says has allowed the company to expand its local operation.
“This investment is allowing us to expand our footprint across Australia, increase manufacturing efficiencies, and drive innovation through new product development,” he said.
“Our mission is to deliver the world’s best home EV charging experience, with the lightest impact on earth and this investment is helping us to do exactly that.”
Evnex is forecasting an additional 7,000 units to be sold in the next year across Australia and New Zealand, offering solutions Mr Harvey says address the growing demand for energy.
“Energy usage in Australia is growing as more and more households move from gas to electric and purchase electric vehicles,” he said.
“Our technology is able to schedule charging for off-peak times, allowing customers to take advantage of preferable electricity rates and reducing the need for fossil fuels to be used in the energy generation process.
“With Australia being one of the largest investors in solar energy in the world, and New Zealand having one of the highest renewable energy mixes in the world, Evnex charging makes so much sense in this part of the globe.
“We’re helping Kiwis and Aussies fuel their cars with clean homegrown energy rather than imported polluting fossil fuels.”
Evnex smart chargers are manufactured in New Zealand, featuring locally-sourced components, and the Australian office is based in the ClimateTechHub in Sydney.
