K-Road Supercharger

[m3lol]

Hi folks, during the July school holidays we will be doing a bit of a tour around the upper North Island and will be staying in Auckland for a few nights. The place we are staying in has off-street parking but no place to charge. However, it is only a few hundred metres away from the Auckland Tesla Store where I understand there are superchargers?

Can I please get some guidance on how to access this supercharger, particularly after-hours?

Thanks!

The car will tell you the pin to enter when you select the supercharger

The entrance is in the back of the building off Howe St through a roller door. As Rob said the car will tell you the gate code

Just be aware that it's... interesting. The exit in particular is narrow and a bit nerve-wracking. Personally I'd only use it as a last resort.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Noted about the PIN and the access/exit - at least Silvia Park is not too far away either!

There are some nearby chargenet locations too, though I can't vouch for those.

Good to have those options but will look to use up my free kms where I can first

Vector 50kw chargers are free (still I think). There's one on Hobson just south of Fanshawe if that's near where you will be

And if you are heading further north, the supercharger in Whangerei is really easy in/out. You don't even have to back in

There is free Vector 50kw charger in Hobson Street Substation another in Gillies av
Newmarket Substation and McDonald’s Greenlane

Keep in mind your only supposed to use the free Vector 50kw charges for 1/2 an hour
The natives get restless if you go over

Plug share app should show were most of the chargers are
