Do you have an electric vehicle?
We have a new DC charging station at the Dowse. The charger enables fast recharges for electric vehicles, increasing accessibility and turn-over at the site.
While there are now over 100 DC fast chargers across NZ, having two DC charging units at one location is a first in the wider Wellington region. In fact this is a first for any location south of Waiouru!
It operates on a user-pays system and will charge a Nissan Leaf, the most popular EV currently available in NZ, to 80% within approximately 20 minutes.
So if you have an electric vehicle and it’s looking for a bit of a charge, pop in, grab a coffee and check out what’s on at the Dowse.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
