EV charging is now available on site!

We’re excited to have partnered with Meridian Energy to install two Zero AC chargers at Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. Zero is Meridian’s EV charging network and once completed will have over 500 charge points available to EV drivers nationwide.

The chargers are available for public use and each charger has two charge points so you can re charge your vehicle while you re charge your body! You’ll need to bring your own AC charging cable, so remember to keep it handy in your boot.
