The Story of EV Power - A Range of Products for Every EV Driver
2016
Paul’s unwavering enthusiasm for electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) goes back to 2001 when Paul O’Connor brought the first Toyota Prius to New Zealand.
Some years later, his business OEM Audio Ltd offered the market a range of top-quality EV charging solutions with safety features, not standard at the time. You can read the 2017 EVtalk article here.
EV Power® products originate from highly reputable Chinese manufacturers located in the provinces of Nanjing, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. The development and construction of these products involve collaboration. Any product with the EV Power brand has met Paul’s stringent standards, to ensure a safe and durable product. OEM Audio undertakes the importation and distribution of EV Power® to over 100 New Zealand dealerships, electricians, and construction firms, while also offering direct sales to the general public.
