Four electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across New Zealand have been
closed for "testing and diagnostics" after an explosion in North Canterbury.

The incident damaged a vehicle and emitted a loud bang across the town of
Amberley about 6pm on Friday.

A vehicle was disconnecting from the ChargeNet station when it "blew apart",
a Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokesman said.

Fire investigator Jason Hobbs said initial findings suggested there was a
fault within the charging unit that caused its aluminium front panel to
burst off, creating a "loud bang".

The panel flew into the car it was charging. The car was damaged at the
front, but no-one was injured.

A ChargeNet spokeswoman confirmed on Monday that stations in Nelson,
Palmerston North and Beach Rd, Auckland, had all been taken offline for
testing.

It was hoped this was a one-off situation but the safety and security of
customers was of paramount concern, she said.

ChargeNet NZ has about 68 charging stations across New Zealand. Its Rapid DC
Chargers recharge electric vehicles within 30 minutes.

WorkSafe is also investigating.
