I drive a battery car. This is one of my favourite stops. It answers the question: how will people out in rural areas charge their cars? It's about one third of the way between Napier and Taupo on a highway 130km between towns. They installed two chargers along the highway to fill in the gaps between towns, just so people with shorter range EVs don't get stuck. It has three outlets, including type-2 three phase AC 44kW. The goal is to have chargers no more than 70km apart on national highways.
@adam Just recycle them into new batteries. Which is much easier than picking up all the co2 from the atmosphere and recycling it back into crude oil.
