Surfing my #1 app like usual and saw photos of Superchargers in Palmerston North in The Plaza Shopping Centre. Photos:

What a great find! I was wondering how on earth you found this considering the site is (a) in a different hemisphere (b) not tagged as a Tesla supercharger (c) A change to an existing site and not a new site.

Shared with the NZ EV group on Facebook so that someone can go and test it. It looks done but may not be activated. Also updated on supercharge.info.

Yeah, they were not there 3 days ago. It is Just around the corner from where we plug in our Leaf. They look finished, though we do not have a Tesla to try with. Strange there are several listed as coming in the next 12 months in NZ but not at this location. I did hear that there were over 5000 reservations for the Model 3 in NZ, seems like they are preparing for that.

Spoke to a chap from Tesla today. They’ve just finished commissioning Palmerston North now and were sending down someone with a car today to test. Opening day is days away.

And it just showed up on supercharge.info as Live. Here's to great 2018 with a handful more SpCs for you New Zealanders.

Here's a photo to confirm it's working.

Yes, I took my private jet.​

Teslas + Superchargers + New Zealand highways + long summer evenings ... wow, that sounds pretty close to heaven!
