E-mobility is here. Is your business ready to move?
FREE EVENT to help you cut fuel costs, reduce emissions and future-proof your fleet with practical, local expertise to show you how.
Transport is one of the biggest costs, and biggest emissions sources, for most Waikato businesses. Whether you run a single company car or a multi-vehicle fleet, the shift to electric mobility is no longer a question of if, but how and when.
At this Hamilton breakfast event, we're cutting through the noise and giving you the real numbers: what it costs, what grants are available right now and how businesses like yours are already benefitting from making the switch.
We're bringing together expert, independent, evidence-based advice on:
· Funding & strategy: Understanding the grants and incentives available to Waikato businesses, including the Low Emissions Vehicle Contestable Fund and Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund, with EECA.
· EV charging infrastructure: From single-site workplace chargers to multi-vehicle depot solutions – what to plan for, what it costs and how to future-proof your setup, with Schneider Electric.
· Local installation and support: What you need to know about installing EV charging, including costs, grid capacity and local expertise, with Hikotron.
· E-bikes & light mobility: The business case for e-bikes for delivery, commuting and short-trip fleet use, including real ROI data, with Northride.
· Fleet management and EV telematics: How to use data to right-size your fleet, reduce costs and make the internal business case for electrification, with Smartrak.
Why attend? You'll come away with a clear picture of where to start, what funding you can access, and three useful actions you can take in the next 30 days.
PLUS:
· E-bike test rides: Get hands-on with Northride's e-bike range. Try one for yourself during the networking session and feel the difference.
· Panel Q&A: Put your questions directly to our expert speakers in a facilitated open discussion.
· Networking: Connect with local suppliers, fleet managers and other business owners from across the Waikato region over a breakfast spread.
