How this works: The wholesale figures are computed from
24.7 million half-hourly dispatch prices on the NZ Electricity Authority's
EMI dataset (1 June 2025 – 24 June 2026, North Island, proxy prices excluded).
24-hour average:
$0.00/MWh.
5–9pm evening-peak average:
$0.00/MWh
(
1.00× the 24h average). The line/network
charge is the default cost-base above wholesale, currently set to
12 c/kWh; a commercial public-charger
site typically pays 10–14 c/kWh on top of wholesale (ComCom blended network
average is ~8.7 c/kWh for year to 31 March 2025; commercial sites add
retailer margin and levies). Margin is a simple markup on the cost base.
Public-charging in NZ is dominated by long-trip "top-up on the road" use
(EECA 2023 survey: 75%), so daytime/afternoon is more representative than
overnight for this use-case — but the 5–9pm peak scenario is included as a
worst-case bound. See
