Taking your electric vehicle on holiday may be about to get easier.

ChargeNet, Z Energy, and Openloop have come together to launch a charging roaming trial, which would allow drivers to charge at any of the three networks.

Currently New Zealand drivers need individual memberships with each charging provider.

ChargeNet Chief Operating Officer Martin Miles says this move will help to attract more people to this sustainable mode of travel.

He says they want to make charging point access as simple as possible.

The trial starts early next year.
