Project Summary
Short description
Tourism Holdings Limited (
thl) and Holiday Parks Association New Zealand (HPANZ)
embarked on a process to make an Electric Campervan trip a possibility in New
Zealand as a low emission alternative to the current options.
THL started R&D on EVs in 2017 and introduced a Nissan ENV 200 van for road
testing and user insights in Dec/Jan and worked on completing a first electric
motorhome which was on display for the first time for industry trade at Trenz in early
May 2018 and for the public at EV world in Aug and Big Boys Toys in Nov 2018
Thl and HPANZ have been working on 2 itineraries based on user insights and to
create a new experience. Now bookable itineraries are here :

Overall project
The EV programme at
thl is in its final stretch and Campgrounds are continuing to get
success
the chargers implemented and certified. The first customers have taken eVolve on the
road and are providing valuable feedback regarding the EV itself, the charging
infrastructure and the EV experience in New Zealand in general.
The EV prototype nr 1 has now been fully fitted and is our key test and promo vehicle.
A photoshoot has taken place to enable better promotion and we have had multiple
media articles. The prototype will be displayed next at the Covi Motorhome show on
15 – 17 March: https://www.supershow.co.nz/index.php
A strategy session leading up to milestone 8 has taken place and some further
strategic analysis will be done in the first weeks of March.
