Christchurch to Hanmer Springs

Distance: 135 km        Drive time: 2hrs

Yoogo Share’s Hyundai Ioniqs are the best car for this trip, as they have a 200km range without use of Air Conditioning or heaters, but to be safe we recommend charging along the way.

There’s no public charging stations in Hanmer Springs, so we recommend charging up at Culverden Car Park on the way there and back.
