The real TCO advantage isn’t the truck. It’s the energy strategy behind it.

At Downstream, Pamela Walklin and Fonterra's Fabian Lloyd discussed the energy trilemma in heavy transport electrification and what it means for fleet operators.

The emerging competitive frontier is the ability to master energy.
⚡ Secure power early
⚡ Design charging around logistics patterns
⚡ Adapt operations for electric
⚡ Plan for future scale
⚡ Optimise electricity utilisation

By ~2027, electric trucks are expected to reach Total Cost of Ownership parity and move ahead.

At the same time, demand is accelerating. The trucks are coming. The required megawatts are increasing. Grid constraints are becoming more pronounced.

This raises an important question for the sector: How do we scale electrification in a way that supports reliability, affordability, and sustainability?

The opportunity lies in rethinking fleets as energy assets. Through Vehicle-to-Grid, demand flexibility, and grid support, operators can play an active role in supporting the energy system while improving fleet economics.

Realising this opportunity will require coordination across fleet operators, networks, regulators, and technology providers.

This is the transition now underway.

Electrifying a depot does not have to mean waiting years for grid upgrades ⚡
At Ritchies Transport Birkenhead depot, the system was designed to scale with the fleet from day one:

1.2MW of continuous power from a single Prime Grid Gateway™
Capability to scale up to 12MW as demand grows
Up to 32 DC ports via Sky Hook™ dual dispensers, with 24 deployed on site
Future expansion already built into the layout, with additional Prime units able to be added

Traditional depot builds often require significant network upgrades before the first vehicle can charge. That can stretch timelines well beyond two years.

This site shows what is possible when scalability is designed in from the start. Infrastructure that can grow in stages. Hardware that is modular and above ground, making future relocation or redeployment far simpler if depot strategies change.

Electronet and Agtrans made this one-day hardware install possible - together we had the experience for a rapid installation.

Fleet electrification is complex. The infrastructure behind it does not have to be 🚍⚡

Electrifying a bus depot is not just about installing chargers. It is about designing infrastructure that works within real grid, space and capital constraints.

Kwetta’s charging platform is purpose-built for bus operators who need to scale with confidence.

🔌 High power, modular by design
1.2MW per Prime unit, stackable up to 12MW, with DC ports added as your fleet grows.

📐 Smaller footprint
A fully integrated, above-ground solution that takes up significantly less depot space than traditional setups.

⚡ Unlock more from your grid connection
Grid-aware power electronics optimise available capacity and help reduce or defer major network upgrades.

🚀 Faster time to deployment
Launch in months, not years, with minimal civil works and infrastructure rework.

🔁 Designed for change
Modular, redeployable hardware that avoids stranded assets if your depot strategy evolves.

For operators, the priorities are clear: protect capital, maintain uptime, and scale without regret.
Kwetta delivers infrastructure that supports those priorities from day one.

Grid constraints are real, and they often become the biggest bottleneck when electrifying a site.

Large scale EV charging is commonly limited by four grid constraints:

1. Thermal - Supply feeders operating close to their thermal capacity limits.
2. Voltage - Voltage rising or falling outside acceptable limits, often across long feeders or sites with variable load and generation.
3. Contingency - Network capacity that must be held in reserve for security and back feed scenarios.
4. Quality - Power quality issues caused by large electronic loads, including harmonics and flicker.

Kwetta’s grid services are designed to work with these constraints, not around them. Our smart, flexible charging technology operates behind the scenes to reduce grid complexity, optimise your grid connection, manage demand in real time, and capture detailed performance data.

With Zeus Grid Services, operators can get more from their existing grid connection, reduce upfront and ongoing costs, shorten connection timelines, and unlock new opportunities through grid support and flexibility services.

Built for constrained networks and high power charging at scale.

Kwetta designs charging infrastructure for CPOs, truck fleets, and bus depots operating at scale, where power requirements are high and grid constraints are real.

We support operators who are:
✓ Rolling out multiple high powered charging points across a site or network
✓ Planning for expansion, with the ability to start small and scale as fleet demand grows
✓ Operating on constrained grids where traditional upgrades are costly, slow, or impractical
✓ Requiring 200kW+ charging for buses, trucks, and heavy transport, with support up to 400kW CCS and MCS

Our technology is designed for durability and adaptability, providing infrastructure that performs today while remaining flexible for future fleet growth.

A lot of fleet operators are coming from a diesel world.
Different expectations. Different habits.

What tends to shift perspective isn’t a spec sheet.
It’s seeing the system in operation. Using it. Living with it.

That’s why Prime is built to scale. Connect once, then add hardware as demand grows.

Grid first EV charging infrastructure that relieves thermal overload, stabilises voltage and frequency, and improves power quality, efficiency, and resilience.

The result:
⚡ 99.8% uptime
⏱️ 1/3 the grid connection time
🛠️ 20 year design life
📦 Small footprint
🔌 Modular, scalable deployment

Operating across New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.

The team who supported the design, civil and electrical installation and commissioning for Fonterra’s new truck charging installation came together post-install for what has been termed the "Recipe Book" workshop at Te Rapa.

Together with Ergo, ElectroNet and Connells, we came together to capture the learnings and insights from the project, to inform and accelerate future projects.

"To effectively deliver the infrastructure needed for the future heavy electric truck fleet, collaboration is essential. The transition is significant for the industry, and attention to detail translates into substantial time and cost savings, ensuring efficient system delivery for end users. While it is not easy, it is critical to take a step back, remain objective, and continuously improve. This is best achieved within the high-trust environment of a collaborative partnership." - Fabian Lloyd, Decarbonisation Manager, Fonterra

At Kwetta, we believe the strongest outcomes come from learning together, and we value working alongside organisations who share that mindset.

Delivering on 3 brownfields sites required ‘one team’ collaboration, outcome focused communications channels, and an aligned, agile and responsive approach to solving challenges as they arose.
The ‘recipe book’ workshop captured the ingredients and method that will ensure the next project is even more successful.

Collaboration is not an idea for us, it is a critical ingredient for successful innovation projects.
One team engaging openly, adapting quickly, solving together and learning for the future.

Keeping high-power charging online is just as important as installing it.
Kwetta’s Operations and Maintenance services are built around one thing: long-term performance.

Our Hyperion service plans are delivered by the same team that designs and builds the system, with support that scales from standard warranty through to full, 24/7 coverage.

What that means in practice:
→ Factory-backed warranties and extended coverage options
→ Local field service with clear response and restore SLAs
→ Preventative maintenance and lifecycle planning
→ In-region spare parts, with dedicated stock on enhanced plans

It’s a practical, end-to-end approach to uptime, asset longevity, and operational confidence for heavy-duty charging infrastructure.

It’s interesting what happens when people actually get behind the wheel.
We see it all the time. A bit of hesitation at first, then a drive, a conversation, a few familiar faces already using EVs… and suddenly the narrative shifts.

Real-world experience changes perspective fast. When drivers and operators get hands-on, questions turn into confidence, and curiosity turns into advocacy.
Sometimes the biggest shift isn’t the technology. It’s the experience.

Would you believe this is 1MW of power?
This rack is made up of ten 100kW Grid Power Modules operating as a single system.

Each module weighs under 25kg, so individual units can be removed and replaced quickly without lifting equipment. That approach is deliberate. It reduces service time and avoids designing maintenance around specialised gear.

The system is designed to interact with the grid, not just draw from it:

→ High-frequency load smoothing helps manage fast demand changes.
→ Voltage is managed concurrently at the point of connection.
→ Harmonic cancellation reduces distortion back into the network.
→ Efficiency sits at 99%.

Each rack is tested at 55°C ambient, at full power with overload, for extended runs.
This is to confirm performance under conditions closer to real sites than ideal lab environments.
