3 May 2025 – Temporary site closure Bethlehem Town Centre
ChargeNet can confirm that at approximately 4:50pm on the 3 May 2025, a fire occurred involving a truck at our Bethlehem charging site. The charger was quickly disconnected from the vehicle.
Emergency services responded promptly and remain on site managing the situation. We understand the driver was able to exit the vehicle safely, and no injuries have been reported.
The site has been temporarily shut down. Our technical team is working closely with emergency services and onsite personnel to support their response and undertake a thorough assessment.
Initial indications suggest the vehicle involved was a custom-built electric truck.
The safety of our customers, partners, and the public is our highest priority. We are in direct contact with the vehicle’s owner and will continue to assist Fire and Emergency New Zealand and other relevant authorities as needed.
