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 August 2018
Thl and HPANZ have been working on 2 itineraries based on user insights and to
create a new experience. The current draft itineraries are here :

Overall project
Project manager has been focusing on the operational readiness for
thl operations
success
(milestone 4) along with commencing robust testing and iteration of the North and
South itineraries along with user trials of both the Nissan eNV200 and eLDV80
prototype vehicles on these routes (milestones 2 & 6).
Additionally, she is supporting chargemaster and the campgrounds on our itineraries
in setting up their charging network (milestone 3 and 5).
Thl’s participation at EVworld generated a large amount of interest, resulting in an
initial database of interested parties who will be contacted as part of our go live in
Dec/Jan . Big Boys toys in November will be our next promotional event, expected to
result in more potential customers and further feedback (milestone 4).
Charge master and HPANZ are progressing with commitments and invoicing for
installation of charging medium speed charging stations is in train (milestones 3 & 5).
