  • Charge Net is a paid public charger network – join at www.chargenet.co.nz 

  • Yoogo Share cars are TYPE 2,  on the DC chargers this is the CCS/SAE plugs

  • DC Fast Chargers (orange icon) take approx. 20mins to charge to 80%

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

  • Complete your usual vehicle check for damage and cleanliness

  • Check the boot, there should be 2 charging cables

  • Check the kms,  if the car doesn’t have around 200km when you get in, feel free to call us and we will move you to one with more charge
