About us
Thundergrid is an EV charging company offering end-to-end electric vehicle charging solutions for businesses, fleets and homes across New Zealand and Australia. We have successfully worked with government, corporates, property owners, and developers to lighten the load on their businesses and the grid.
In October 2023, Thundergrid was acquired by Landis+Gyr, a leading global provider of integrated energy management solutions. This has strengthened Thundergrid’s founding mission to ease the transition to electric transport in New Zealand and Australia.
Combining Thundergrid’s locally developed IP and approach with the backing of a global energy leader means Thundergrid is well placed to help New Zealand and Australian businesses adopt and upscale their EV charging infrastructure, enabling greater energy efficiencies and less reliance on fuel fuels.

Not your average EV!
As charging capability advances, the benefits extend far beyond passenger vehicles. High-capacity charging can support heavy-duty electric machinery, which allows us to help transition equipment like this at the Port of Melbourne away from fossil fuels.

Battery capacity, electric motor performance, and charging technology have passed the tipping point. From the world’s largest electric ship using more than 40 MWh of battery storage, to battery-electric haul trucks operating in the 45°C Pilbara, and 240 schedulable chargers supporting bus operations in Singapore, the evidence is clear: electrification has become a realistic option for heavy industry.
Sectors that would have considered electrification unrealistic just five years ago are now confronting the commercial cost of continued fossil fuel dependence and its impact on margins.
If fuel costs are putting pressure on your business but electrification still feels complex, start with our free guide https://hubs.la/Q04mW0L70

We had a great experience at the 2026 EV Infrastructure summit in Sydney last week, where CEO Jonathan Parker discussed the future trends and innovations to support fleet charging with Dr. Brendan Koehler (Chief Power Officer BK Charging) and Riccardo Pagliarella, PhD (Ambassador, Asia and Oceana, Open Charge Alliance). You can read some of Jonny’s thoughts here https://lnkd.in/ewzUDkJq
Jonny also joined a panel on electrifying depots for heavy fleets with Colin McGregor (Sales Director, EV Blocks), Mark Lampard (CEO, Go EV) and Peter Smith (Technology Manager, eMobility,ABB Australia). Heavy charging has unique challenges, but it offers major electrification potential.
A recurring theme at the event was that price volatility is making businesses look at fleet electrification as an economical operational decision. However, it’s not as simple as purchasing some new vehicles and installing some chargers. Charge time requirements, site load management and grid reliability are key considerations that need to be raised at the beginning of the process.
Working with Thundergrid ensures your charging system design is fit to purpose and future proofed. If you’re looking to go from powerless to powerful, you can download our free electrification guide https://lnkd.in/eySGpPmS

Most organisations start with: “We need a charger.”
But by the time that sentence is said, the vehicles have usually been chosen, timelines are locked in, and infrastructure has become a downstream problem.
The better questions, asked earlier is: What does our future EV strategy look like? Make it powerful and future proofed!
Having the experts design a plan can help map the strategy. The plan often stalls when trying to bridge hardware selection, site analysis, and installation.
Then come the operational questions nobody planned for: utilisation across multiple sites and home charging for employees, energy cost reporting, FBT, reimbursements and who fixes a charger when it’s down. And eventually scale, where a setup built for 20 vehicles doesn’t hold at 200.
A powered fleet is what you get when vehicle, charging, energy, and service are designed together from the start. Not bolted on once the EV order is in.
Our Fleet Electrification Guide walks through how to think about each layer wherever you are on your electrification journey.

At IPWEA, the most common fleet electrification concerns weren’t about vehicles, they were about how charging actually works in practice.
Questions around charging across sites, homes, and day-to-day operations led a number of people to the Fleet Electrification Guide we compiled for the event.
It was great to talk through those challenges and share how Thundergrid helps fleet teams make charging simpler to plan, easier to roll out, and more practical to manage at scale.
Big thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with us!
If you’re exploring fleet electrification, or looking to scale what you’ve already started, we’ve pulled together a practical guide to help.

Time for a new path?

There’s a simple but uncomfortable truth in New Zealand’s energy debate right now: we’re doubling down on the most expensive, volatile fuels we have while overlooking the infrastructure that would actually make us resilient and give us independence.
Imported petrol and gas expose us to global price swings we can’t control. On average up to 80% of the energy in petrol is wasted as heat, only around 20% of the energy is delivered as motion. Yet we continue to frame fossil fuels as a stability mechanism, when in reality, they’re one of the biggest sources of instability.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is moving in the opposite direction. The International Energy Agency expects renewable capacity between 2025 and 2030 to double what was built in the previous five years. Governments are investing heavily in large-scale batteries, smart grids and flexibility markets because they want energy sovereignty, not dependence.
Australia shows what the future could look like:
183,000 household batteries bought in the second half of 2025
74 committed storage projects
$1.7B in BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) investments reaching financial close at the end of 2025
New Zealand already has what many countries want: an 84% renewable grid. What we lack are the storage systems, flexibility tools, and smart management infrastructure that make renewables reliable and affordable.
We’ve spent a lot of time in offshore markets. Around the world, countries are actively designing their energy independence strategies. They know the market is shifting fast and that resilience isn’t something you can retrofit later. If we make the right moves now - storage, flexible demand, smarter hydro use, fleet electrification and clean heat - New Zealand can build genuine energy independence powered by renewable sources.
If we don’t, we’ll spend decades paying global prices for fuels we don’t produce, and remain exposed to shocks we can’t influence.

Two Networks. One Tap. Unified RFID Access.
We’re proud to introduce a unified RFID solution that removes one of the biggest friction points in EV charging: too many fobs.
Through our partnership with ChargeNet - EV Charging Solutions, fleet drivers can now use a single RFID fob to access BOTH ChargeNet’s public charging network AND Thundergrid’s private chargers at depots, workplaces, or home setups.
Why it matters for fleets:
Managing multiple RFID fobs is a thing of the past. With one tap, fleet drivers can now charge across Aotearoa’s  largest public ChargeNet network and their private fleet depots or home EV chargers managed by Thundergrid – no more juggling fobs.
Innovation in Action:
This collaboration is a leap forward in simplifying EV mobility. It’s about smarter infrastructure, streamlined operations, and enhanced driver experience - all while supporting your sustainability goals.
Let’s DRIVE the future together.
