Charging on the go is really easy

Simply touch the search bar on the map and select Charging on the map displayed on the touchscreen.You can also find all Tesla charging stations in the Tesla app HERE. There is also a great public network available HERE.

There are two types of charging cables in the vehicle's boot. One is for domestic use, and the other is for city roadside charging.

There are three ways to charge your Tesla rental car:

1. A Tesla Supercharger - this is the fastest, but most expensive way, to charge a Tesla.
2. A public charger - our cars all have a cable suitable for using public chargers. This is the best way to charge while you're shopping or relaxing in places like the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools.
3. Charge at your accommodation. We also provide a charger for this, which will plug into a regular power point. This is the slowest way to charge, but the cheapest.

Charging times are determined by the charging station's power capacity and the charging power of the vehicle. 

With superchargers, you will recover 100km of driving within 10 minutes.

On public charging stations, you will recover 100km of driving within 90 minutes. 

On a domestic socket, you will recover 100km of driving within 7 hours.

Charging costs varies across locations. For information specific to your location, please refer to the map here.

About

Dream Drives Car Rental was set up by me, Adam Crouchley. I'm passionate about sharing Christchurch and our beautiful South Island, and I think it should be explored in a suitable vehicle. So, I’ve put together a fleet of cars that are perfect for exploring New Zealand. 

Whether you need a car for a few days or want to tour New Zealand, I'd love to help.
