Guide to driving EV

Electric vehicles are slowly starting to become the normal with many kiwis wanting to get behind the wheel of an electric car. There are many advantages that come with sustainable electric mobility (not least in financial terms), however, the thought of this new electric era can be daunting to some. The Audi electric range perfectly exemplifies the move to the future with quick charging, long ranges, and Audi performance.

Charging

Home Charging

Over 90% of electric and plug-in hybrid charging takes place at home. Depending on individual house infrastructure and connection capacity, one could expect up to 240 km more range following an 8 hour charge. 

HRV is Audi’s home installation partner. 

1. Home Assessment

An EV charger home assessment is important to identify your home’s electrical infrastructure, the best orientation of the EV charger and the extra available capacity of your electrical supply. This service will be carried out by a licensed HRV electrician.

2. Report and Installation Quote

The Sales and Customer Service Coordinator will provide a summary report including an installation quote based on the home assessment. The report details the available capacity of your home, installation options and a quote to carry out an installation. Take some time to review the report and decide on the installation option that works best for you – in some circumstances the next steps may differ.

3. EV Charger Installation

HRV has a long and strong reputation of respecting the homes of their customers, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they will look after your home as if it were their own. A licensed HRV electrician will install, test and certify the safe operation of your EV charger. Before they leave, they will talk you through everything you need to know about the safe operation of your EV charger and answer any questions you may have.
