The All-new e:N1, as the first fully electric vehicle launched by the Honda in New Zealand in May 2025. The EN1 adopts Hondas new electric platform with its 68kWh battery giving a range of 412km WLTP.
Charging at home with the standard wall plug in charger will take 31 hours from 5% to 100%. We recommend investing in one of our wallbox Smart EV to safely fully charge overnight.

Before considering a 22kW wall charger your house will need to already be pre-wired for 3 phase from the street. The majority of houses in NZ only have a single phase feed.
You can check at the switch board and look for the main circuit breaker to see if the main breaker has 3 switches joined as one. Or if there is Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 labelled.

The EN:1 supports up to 78kW DC charging, this will charge 10% to 80% in around 35min.
Type 2 Public AC chargers like the ones you find a super markets, malls, hotels & Motels. You will need to bring your own cable for these. Plug share will show the chargers in your area and you can see what sort of cables are needed.
We recommend a 22kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable. 5m will cover most situations.
The maximum supported charge speed using ac is 11kW so the 22kW cable will ensure you get the maximum speed when ac charging.
The majority of free public chargers use the Type 2 Socket, so this cable will allow you to use the chargers. Note Some public charges have a Type 2 hard wired so a cable is not needed 100% of the time.
